Some awesome plays, especially in the first quarter

Mir wedges the ball!

CW behind the back dribble on the break

Definitely Mir jams the rim at 23 secs left ...

 

[Bama fan]

Mir wedges the ball and the bench just loses it. So much joy tonight on their faces!

 

[Kaizen]

I like this one too ...

I really liked Nika's moon ball 3's. Such a different trajectory than early in the season.

She’s got the rainbow down for sure

Nika Muhl-Lewis!!

When they poured water on PB5 during her interview. And after CW stuck around for a hug. It was like the upperclassman passing the torch to freshy. You all love sentimental crap like that she just told her a dirty joke.

@Kaizen I love the Slime Time reference. Those two are so in sync it is marvelous. But that made me think of this old gem.

There’s one subtle play I liked early fourth. Didn’t mean much, but late shot clock one of the Marquette guards was iso’ed on Paige and tried to take her. She went to a couple moves and Paige shut her off, then she tried an 18-foot fadeaway as a last resort and Paige blocked it.

It wasn’t stopping Rhyne Howard or anything, but I still liked that moment where she was on an Island and took on the challenge.

Paige, Nika and AE those three freshmen will make next year even great.

I have a three way tie and obviously there could be more with this team.
Olivia early blocking a shot and wrestling it away from the one that just ate it. Channeling her inner Fabulous Thunderbird's with "wrap it up ill take it".
CW on a stolen flip from Evina not totally in control goes behind the back and goes to the hoop.
Later in the game we have AE in a jump ball situation holding the ball and the opponent gripping it with her feet off the floor.

I like this one too ...

Paige had her hands up before the ball went through.
