Yesterday had to be the most complete game we have played in a while and maybe even all year. We came out strong and took it to B.C. early. Once we established the lead, we never let B.C. get close. We even came out strong in the second half scoring the first 13 points. Brenda used one time out and that was her throwaway one. The win clinches at least a 3 seed in the ACC Tournament and the first round bye. It gives us more win than last year and 10 wins in conference for the first time in a long time. If we play at this level on Sunday down at NC State, which beat Clemson by 11 last night, it could be another easy one on the heart.

Positives
Rebounding. We outrebounded them by 18 despite Crystal only having 4. Everyone was one the glass and Coleman led the way with 15.
Harper. After a shaky Duke game, she came out and did what she does best score, rebound and block shots.
Coleman. 15 rebounds, 12 defensive, and played decent defense. She only scored 8 points, but it doesn't matter when she is doing everything else (4 assists, two blocks and 1 steal)
Newman. She struggled with her first couple of shots. She looked like she was trying to hard. She finally settled down in the second half and scored 8 including two great drives to the hoop.
Intensity. I mentioned it earlier and I thought it was great how we didn't play down to our opponent. BC foul trouble helped too.
Negatives
Turnovers. 19 is a bit much, but when you outrebound an opponent by 18 and win by 27 it is somewhat acceptable. I still would prefer less.
