Bree Hall and Tessa Johnson made Booker.....

....look like a very average player. Total shutdown defense. Never seen such a dominate performance.
Totally agree! The entire team recognized that shutting down Booker was the key to winning the game. What I found interesting is that the team also protected the paint by not closely playing the Texas women who weren’t 3-point shooters. Harmon and others were left alone whenever they went outside the 3-point line. At all times 3 to 4 of our players were ready to collapse to protect the paint. Great game plan by the coaching staff.
 
Agree totally. I was critical of them after the Texas and UConn losses, not so much because they lost but because they lacked that defensive intensity that has always been their trademark. It was back and on full dispay yesterday!! Beautiful to watch.
 
Maybe below average honestly.
That kind of defense has a tendency to make a lot of players look below average! It seems Dawn has gotten a bunch of star athletes to buy into being a group of role players, so it's a good system. I love watching Tessaa play!

Did you see the video of the game at Texas where Booker told Hall “you can’t f_____ stop me.” After the game Sunday Hall said something like “looks like I can easily stop you.”
