Absolutely right on! We had three MVPs in that game: Lauren, Kiki and Gabriela whose defense was amazing.
Gianna's energy and effort was as usual super and even on a for-her off game Charlisse was sound but those three were absolutely spectacular.
BB is still a game of runs and it figured that the home team, ranked #8 in the nation and as you noted below super quick, would make a last one. Cori post game talked about focusing on the three point line - we didn't until at the end we certainly did - so for a Final Four caliber team we have to take that on ourselves and learn to correct our part in it. But after UM's initial run until their last gasp push, led by those three at the top we played brilliantly on the rode against a terrific team and the usual home cooking Lauren runs into seemingly every game especially on the road.
