Two things only from me:
1). We were somewhat tired, and they more so. Some of the slop was due to that, but it also exposes the true warriors from the others. This is why, in some ways, Hannah was the best player on the floor today ... Maddy and Lindsay too of course. Brianna was somewhat slow all game; I'll bet she was dinged or gassed to begin with. Our soft players were exposed as what they are. We are very lucky that SU doesn't know how to play zone, so Kate could get foul line jumpers and we got something out of her points wise. The frosh aren't ready really for primetime. Michaela was OK, both head and physically. Muffet didn't play Mychal any serious time until late [when she got 3 really ticky fouls.] It could have been Muffet's fear that she was going to have to outscore a hot team, and Mychal doesn't score.
2). Muffet apparently made a defensive theory/plan to stop two of their big three. She knew that Maddy would never go casual on the main three-point shooter, and she did not. Maddy couldn't help as much as usual, but amazingly she even did some of that. The plan on the second scorer was to force her to her left. If Lindsay was on her, that worked. Some of the other girls seemed to forget the plan. This is why Muffet has to pull some of them quickly --- they just don't get defense, or they are terrible at defensive posture and foot-movement [unfortunately, Marina is the worst at the posture stuff, and Arike still has no instinctive clue about coverage --- neither does Kate.] Had Hannah not had to play so much forward, we could have stopped their whole show --- this lack of even a second physical big drives me nuts; can't imagine what it does to the staff.
This probably won't happen, but I'd vote for what the commentator said, and put Hannah on the All-Tournament team.
