“She made a lot of good decisions, even in the passing game, but she’s just got to shoot a better percentage. She was getting a lot of clean looks, but for us to be competitive, night in and night out, we’re playing through her. We’re playing to her, and we’re playing through her. She’s incredibly important to us.” said Coach Nicki on important it is for Courtney Williams to step up every game.
