Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2142262, member: 1220"] What people need to remember that scoring 40 + points against Baylor was very unusual for her. She averaged 10.9 points a season. In the 3 tournament games before Baylor she had eleven points in three games. Now if she were a consistent high volume scorer through out her career it might make sense for the coach to give her a shot even if she was tired. The fact is that she was hotter than a pistol for Baylor and part of Uconn but she had cooled off to normal against SC. She was not going to save them Too many people evaluated her on the game they saw her play against Baylor and Uconn and do not recognize that was not typical for her. Basketball is a game where things tend to even out over time. A hot player will have a cold streak and things will even out that way. Miss State while definitely a good team rode Williams hot wave past Baylor and Uconn. But it appeared to have cooled off against SC. Same thing happened to Schimmel against Baylor years ago and she cooled off against Cal but they stupidly focused their defense against a player whose hot steak had ended and left a red hot wing wide open all game.
