Player of the week stats. Heck, national player of the week stats. After being cold early, she even got her shooting percentage up into good territory..
It's also worth noting that poor shooting performances (by both teams' standards) are not just a factor of shots being off but of the defenses they're working against. MN made UConn take some bad shots, especially early, and vice versa.
She was a little wild but looked the grittiest player this evening. I also thought Madol showed some promise. The Gophers do have legit players at the 4. I think the 5 remains a question, especially if Hart gets in foul trouble.
...and it did feature 12 minutes from former Gopher recruiting target and St. Michael/Albertville star Tessa Thompson. Only one point but she had a gorgeous outlet pass.
