Today was our best defensive effort in the sense of our team guarding their play-action. (Stephanie) Watts is an unbelievable player. She really was a hard guard for us, but collectively as a group, we were able to shut down the other players. Offensively, our ability to have an inside-outside attack is always going to be key for us. I like the fact that it started on the defensive end in forcing those turnovers and allowing us to get our transition game going.LSU and UNC traded buckets to open the game before LSU jumped out to a 12-2 lead and went into the second quarter with a 20-8 advantage.
