According to the announcers, Nancy had 22 points and 14 rebounds. At one point, they said she had four blocked shots. She probably blocked about eight to ten after that. Cy Woods won 79-60. They had a ten-point lead in the first half, but lost it when Nancy went to the bench with two fouls. It was tied at the half, 38-38.
Cy Woods is two different teams. With Nancy in the game, they are a flowing offense. Nancy split time at high and low post. In the second half, she spent more time at the low post. But, they really have difficulty getting it to her. They don't pass well. They tried passing low when they could have just thrown it over the defense. She is every bit of 6-9, maybe more. She dwarfed a 6-2 forward.
When she was at the high post, they flowed nicely. Nancy drew the defense out a bit, and the middle was pretty much open. At low post, it wasn't so open. They were determined not to let Nancy get it low. When she gets it low, it is a layup every time. She doesn't miss.
She wasn't always under the basket for a rebound. They do have Reese, a very good freshman who is 6-2. She is a pretty good rebounder, and they had another girl who could rebound. When Nancy did go under the basket, she usually got the ball. When she wants it, she takes it. The best part is that she is very good at outlet passes. Ogwumike scores on layups after being fed by outlet passes by Mulkey. Ogwumike can also shoot a little, but she is a bit of a ball hog. Nancy also probably got about four or five putbacks. She did miss some short three to five foot jumpers. But, she was probably about ten of twelve from the field. She hit a couple of free throws.
She is a pretty good athlete. She can block two or three shots in a row from different locations. She seems to know how to use her hands for that. She is pretty accurate on blocking shots. She moves well around the lane.
She actually was the first down on a couple of fast breaks, but Ogwumike lost the ball before she could get it to Mulkey. She can move down court pretty well when she wants. She also hit a couple of fifteen foot jumpers with a nice touch.
Without Nancy, CY Woods loses this game. The others aren't bad, but they are not dominant. Nancy does dominate. Both teams know exactly who is the dominant force on the court. CyWoods outscored them by 29 with her on the court and lost by ten when she was on the bench.
Cy Woods has three starters back next year: Mulkey, Reese, and a guard. They may be just as good next year, even though one guard will be at Pepperdine and the other at Tulsa.
I think Nancy will be All-Conference as a freshman.
