Chiney is Player of the Weekend

Graham Hayes (ESPN) tabbed Chiney as the top performer of the weekend with this evaluation:

Games early in the season are often an opportunity for players to pad their stat lines. Maybe college basketball's lone remaining Ogwumike did some of that with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals in 25 minutes against Santa Clara on Sunday, but her opening performance was both stellar and needed. With Fresno State lurking a little too close for comfort, down four midway through the second half and seven with five minutes to play, Ogwumike poured in 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting, and added 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in 40 minutes. She had some help from Joslyn Tinkle, who finished with 20 points, but it was an All-American effort from an obvious All-American.

I overlooked Chiney's blog last week, "We’re ready to rock, are you?" But here it is, better late than never.
