Not always pretty but overall a good win. Idaho is a good team who hung with Baylor for most of the game.

Inma's 21 rebounds is 1 short of the Rockets team record of 22 by Liz Meiring. Only the 4th time a Rocket had 20 boards, and the first time in over 20 years!

Also first time in history a Rocket had 20 points and 20 boards in the same game.

Quality win predicated on the Rockets' defense, excellent rebounding and timely offense including free throws down the stretch.

And by a monster game from Inma and Ana. If they get 35-40 points from those two upper classmen each game they have a chance to be a force in the league. But its a lot to ask from them. They are playing Inma 38 minutes/game. Nobody plays that many minutes on a regular basis.
