The best news was that Hartley went 3-3 on three pointers.

If she can hit 35% or more next year, she will make Uconn that much tougher.

Here is a link to the shot chart. It is done both by team and by individual. Green is a good shot and red is a miss.. We should get these for our box scores.

And 4 for 4 from 2 point land - I think she may have a monster year coming - last year had to be very frustrating.

I noticed that too. You'd think the Russians could have gotten at least a few more by promising air conditioning to get out of the summer heat...!

New stat! "FD" = "Fouls Drawn."

Not yet refined to indicate whether or not a flop resulted.

The 34 assists is a team record. Shonni had a really good game - scoring but also dishing 9 assists. The one weakness on this team is going to be post play which was pretty clear from the moment the team was selected - they could really use Stef, but glad she is home resting. If they continue to shoot well, not sure the post play will matter, but ...
The pictures make it seem like the venue isn't really set up for fans - looks more like a gym, than an arena. Also - the last shot ... is Sherri pregnant? Indelicate question, but the shape says maybe 5/6 months?
