An enjoyable game, and a confidence booster.  Compared to the recent years, the whole team is playing at both ends of the court.

Bonnie played very well, scoring 11 points in 15 minutes.  Interestingly, only 3 of those were on a trey.  She went to the basket a few times and had a nice finger roll, and went 4/4 from the free throw line.  She is now 18/18 on free throws this season.

Bonnie is now 82/89 = 92% for her college career.  Stanford's career record is Kelly Suminski at 84%.  (So Bonnie is having half as many misses as Kelly.)  BUT, Bonnie won't make it onto Stanford's records as she doesn't shoot enough FTs (unless she gets another 118 this year!).  Too bad.... She has the most effortless free throw I can recall. 

And, she's not even in the NCAA rankings this year.  She'd need 20 attempts (2.5/game * 8 games).  If you gave her 2 misses to get to 20, she'd be tied for 5th.  It doesn't help her totals that she is only played less than 1/3 of each game.

Bonnie is getting quite a bit less time than her sister, and yet last night Bonnie was offensively one of the most productive players.  I really, really like the fact that she is moving to the basket and she is also pump faking defenders out of her way from the three point line and moving in for unopposed two point shots.  Her offensive game is becoming more complete.

I can only guess that Tara does not think Bonnie can defend well against certain types of players.  There was a moment towards the end of the game when Bonnie was in and I noticed her bodying up on a player who must have outweighed her by 50%.  I was almost afraid that Bonnie would break.  Or is it rebounding?  Bonnie has been averaging 13 minutes and less than one rebound.  But on defense Bonnie is not quick enough to guard most true guards nor big enough to guard big posts.  I have not watched closely, but perhaps Tara puts her in whenever she thinks there is someone on the other team that Bonnie can defend reasonably well.  Anyone else notice if there is rhyme or reason to when Bonnie gets to play?

I understood that early in the season, Tara was limiting Bonnie's minutes because of her off-season surgery. Seeing how well she's been playing, I imagine her minutes will continue to increase.
