Wow, that is pretty fantastic.
I am not going to name names, but a certain UNC WBB podcast has a regular contributor who has said frequently that she should not be starting, lol.

I know some folks have been frustrated with IN’s decision making and finishing in the past — both of which I think have significantly improved — but man I’ve always loved that kid. Just absolutely electric. Plays with so much heart. I always forget that she’s a transfer because that’s a Tar Heel right there.
No idea who that is but I do know that anyone saying that does not see the whole game. In addition to alol the many things she does she is our best defender. Jeeeez
India is the fastest player on this team. She runs by the opponent with ease. She is making her layups look easy and she has shot the 3 pointer better this year.
If you look at her stat lines in years past when we played top teams she often still produced while our top players those years faded into the woodwork a bit.
She also has done a great job of taking on the role of team leader. Not sure if this comes naturally for her but she has embraced the role nicely.
Agree 100%. Very impressive in the interviews that I've seen.
Indya is so strong, fast and quick. She can take the ball away on rebounds, loose balls and steals.
Her game is at a super high level right now. Keep bringing it Indya.

She has stepped up and been unbelievable so far. Love watching her compete.
She does it all for our team. She guards the opposing team's best player. She rebounds. has a lot of steals, scores, etc. She has worked very hard this off season and all of the hard work is paying off. Her leadership skills have grown too. I am so proud of her.
It appears right now she is the only guard that can beat her defender off the dribble. This is a very good team but our guards are not very quick. At the end of the Texas game she had the ball in her hands more and she could get to the rim. I think she may have to run the offense some because her defender will have to have help and then she could pass to an open shooter. Her handle is better this year and she can make her layups.
Aarnisalo got to the rim off the dribble more than anyone in the TX game.
Grant used a back-down approach effectively a couple of times. not pretty, but it worked.
RK had that last year and I kept looking for her to take over but it never happened. She may never get back to where she was mid season last year. We can only hope she does because I think she and Harpring can be a force next year.
Maybe Noelle Bofia will bring that possibility to UNCWBB next season.
Brendon Haywood did it with blocks for the men back in the day.
