KML= First Team All American, no question. She just went out and scored 26 with 15 plus rebounds and high FG%.
For this team to win a NC, Bria needs to emerge as the second go to scorer. If Bria could play AA level as she did last season in Waco, you have a duo of guards that are near impossible to stop (pick your poison).
Dolson had a solid game but looked worn down in the second half. Uconn needed a different defensive scheme for Griner. The double team lead to way too many open layups, especially for Pope. Pope killed us with 18 points off the bench.
The Freshman are just not ready. For some reason, Stewart looks like she is a chicken with her head cut off. She is not picking up the defense, or the offense. She looked pretty bad tonight. She had so much raw talent that needs to be used. If she can step up, this team can get that other scoring option they need. What happened to the girl who was the leading scorer through 10 games in her career, more than maya? Jefferson was solid, and Tuck may have emerged as the number one option off the bench. She was really impressive tonight.
Faris- played good defense, was somewhat gone on offense.
Essentially, uconn needs to have multiple scorers come to play every night. I know they had Tuck, Hartley, Dolson, and KML in double digits, but down the stretch, it was all on KML. Gutsy performance by her. I think she is ready to take over. She showed that she can easily score 20 plus a night.
