but given how much hair she's got piled atop her head, I have to think it could be a distraction given that you can't exactly keep it a beehive like this firmly in place--it's going to move around. I never thought I'd be commenting on a player's hair--but I'm not sure I've seen such a tower of hair.
in any case, she had a poor first quarter--missed a bunch of shots, as did most of our players. Poor shooting so far. We will see zone all year.
Russell looks good offensively--she is moving well and shooting quickly and decisively. She's /not/ a good defensive player.
