Have to be happy for Olsen and O'Grady playing like that in the 4th. Kind of senior "want it" leadership the team has needed.
It really was the kind of Olsen game they had to have to compete and win. Everyone else (minus AOG) couldn't make a basket after the first quarter.
That first quarter.
Guyton had good looks. If she was on target, and McCabe made one of her close ones, they could have built a 25 point lead. So close to doing that.
That second quarter.
Couldn't buy a basket. What a temperature swing. But the score gave them some confidence.
Second half defense on JuJu was the kind we were talking about when saying Jensen knows how teams slowed Clark down. Changed it up, stayed right on her.
Surprised by USC not extending the game in the last minute. I think they had a better chance to close the gap than they did.
Classy move by USC staying on court for the Clark ceremony.
Hawks win.
