Yeah, she sat the entire first quarter while Nancy, McKenna, and EJ rotated. But then VV started the 2nd quarter. Seemed like another intentional "message" from Sherri.
Vivi seemed to lose confidence. She began to do what she hadn't done in the past, try to throw up wasted shots. Rather than just powering up, she spun around looking for an up and under. She became very unproductive and was making mistakes. A pass to her was more likely to become a bad pass or turnover than anything useful.
Enter Nancy. The other team was intimidated, and she wasn't hesitant. Things happened.
Yesterday was the first good game Vivi had played since November.
