Just got back from Palo Alto where we saw two great games...

LSU had a great comeback against La Tech. Temeka Johnson was struggling with her outside shots in the first half, so in the second half she did the smart thing: took it to the hole. Tech (namely Erica Smith) did a good job containing Augustus at first, but eventually Seimone broke free with some great slashing moves, leading to some 10-foot jumpers.

Ford and Frierson were dominant inside for Tech, leading to a rebounding edge of 38-23. But toward the end of the game, the Tech guards just couldn't get it in to Ford and Frierson in the post. Ford got frustrated with her teammates and herself, especially after she missed some key free throws.

Facing a big deficit, LSU could have folded. They showed a lot of heart by playing their way back into the game, and their intensity only increased in the final, critical minutes. Great win.
