Kiki Rice really can do it all: initiate an offense, create for her teammates, get to her spots off the dribble, defend at an extremely high level, and even hit threes off relocation She’s a coach’s dream

Aubrey Galvan doesn’t care how much time is left on the clock or how big the moment is She’ll get a bucket either way 🤷‍♂️

Gianna Kneepkens is as pure of a shooter as you’ll ever find Look at her adjust to this pass, by catching, hopping straight into her base, and getting this shot off effortlessly

We’ve seen a very aggressive Lauren Betts lately, especially in the paint And you can see how difficult it is to stop Lauren when she puts her head down & uses her physicality to get to the rim Plus, she has great touch near the rim, even through contact

Look at Gabriela Jaquez blow by the defense Because she’s such a strong shooter, the defense had to close to gap quick And Gabs saw a hard closeout coming, so she immediately went downhill after catching the pass, which gave her an open runway to the rim

Do you see what I mean when I talk about Kiki Rice’s body control? Even on a fast break, she’s able to stop on a dime to create a good angle against her defender https://t.co/oArBQEohAi

Kiki Rice has great body control in the paint and around the rim And that helps her not just finish through contact and adjust to the defense, but it helps her contort her body and create passing angles like this

Words aren’t enough. But that doesn’t mean we should EVER be quiet, especially with what is happening in this country. https://t.co/kTl6MuzmnT

Azzi Fudd has great, great hands Even when she’s not stealing the ball away (she had 4 steals today and averages 2.3 per game for the year), she’s able to affect the offense by stripping the ball-handler or poking it lose, even when they’re near the rim

Clara Strack moves really, really well for a 6’5” big, but she’s also more than capable of using her size to seal out defenders and gain good positioning in the post

Taliah Scott already has 3 steals halfway through the 3rd quarter and she has been making a ton of big plays for Baylor today on both ends of the court, with her defensive playmaking and scoring

Michigan’s sophomore duo has been HUGE today, with Mila Holloway and Olivia Olsen hitting big bucket after big bucket for the Wolverines

Azzi Fudd’s catch and shoot form and footwork are perfect She goes directly into her shot after catching the ball, timing her one-two step to get her base right So the ball is leaving her hands not long after catching it

See what I mean? Azzi Fudd trusts the work she’s put in through years of practice & KNOWS that she can shoot, even if her shot hasn’t been falling And with that confidence, she’s able to hit shots even in tight windows, especially since her form is quick https://t.co/HW5sTNXiRl

When teams aren’t sticking with her and she’s shooting like she is today, Azzi Fudd will make it rain from deep Her shot is not just pure, it’s very quick and compact Making it extremely difficult to affect her with a closeout late

Azzi Fudd was in a shooting slump But shooters shoot and the only way to break out of a slump if by continuing to do what you do And we know what Azzi can do

While she excels off-ball, I really like when Azzi Fudd shows off her ability to put the ball on the floor and attack off the dribble She can get to the rim, but her ability to stop and pop gives defenses an extra thing to think about too

Azzi Fudd is an ultimate off-ball weapon She has gravity, which spaces the floor And that gravity forces teams to chase after her and run over screens, but that also opens up lanes for her to cut to the basket off actions and get easy lays

Azzi Fudd’s defensive playmaking pops even when she’s off the ball and attacking the passing lanes She’s got a great defensive motor and, when you pair that with her awareness and BBIQ, you get someone who causes havoc on defense

If you build it, they will come
