Valiant effort by the LV. Caldwell is clearly the right coach and going to be very successful, but that defense on the final possession and the play she drew up with 1 second left were both a bit suspect. Still, nice effort.
Not sure I agree about the final play. I’ll take getting the ball in that deep with .9 on the clock. Zee should’ve finished that

Maybe. She didn’t catch it cleanly and she was double teamed and had to fade a bit on her shot. It wasn’t terrible, but I’m surprised with how well they shoot the 3 they didn’t set something up to get a catch and shoot on the perimeter.

That’s fair I guess. I was a bit surprised to see Jewel throwing it in given how hot she was shooting, but I thought the look ended up being ok

Yeah, I don’t think it was necessarily a bad play. Just not what I expected. I’m also not so sure the clock didn’t start a bit late. I didn’t think she got her shot off by the time she came down with it and then went back up, which is another reason why I thought they might elect for a perimeter shot.

Not sure about the time. I didn’t get a second look, as I slammed my laptop shut when she missed 🙃

Ha, fair. I didn’t rewatch it either but in real time it sure looked like the play took longer to develop than 0.9 seconds. Think we got a bit of a friendly home clock operator assist 🙂 JMO.
