I just noticed over on Marian Cortesi's blog that she reminded us that Lili is originally from Hawaii and played at Punahou High School before moving to Texas in 2010--probably before her sophomore year.  The star Hawaii player Shawna-Lei Kuehu (who seems to have been out ill or injured much of last night) also played for Punahou High School.  When she was a junior in high school Lili would have been a frosh.  I wonder if they played together?

Edit:  Just saw that Shawna-Lei took a medical redshirt year.  The last year she played for Punahou was 2008, so they would not quite have overlapped.  When Lili was a frosh it would have been just after Shawna-Lei had led that team to 3 state championships. 

Edit:  Lili did not set a record with her 6/7 three point shooting. Jennifer Azzi shot 7/7 in 1989.

Quote from Amber:

"I think we came out and played with a lot more energy, and we were patient on offense and allowed the posts to get more involved," Orrange said.

You know how these quotes are--the players just reflect what the coach told them.  I imagine Tara made it a priority for the guards to get the posts involved by passing more to the rolls, when earlier on they were trying to do everything themselves.  This is a step forward in learning the new system.
