ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
It was a wall to wall showing of domination by the Sun on Wednesday night.
Connecticut fell behind 4-0 a couple minutes into the contest, then flipped the switch and showed why they're the Eastern Conference favorite.
Jonquel Jones started the run for Connecticut, commanding the lion's share of offensive touches and taking full advantage of her size advantage over Indiana's young forwards in the first quarter. The realization that Connecticut could bully there way into offensive success came early, and the Sun applied it often.
Connecticut dispatched their double-big lineup of Jonquel and Brionna Jones for a season-high 17 minutes in the contest, doing pretty much whatever they needed to in the contest. Their performances helped their teammates get some rest and run, as the starters were pulled just minutes into the fourth quarter.
The dominance overlapped throughout pretty much every team category you can think of, as Connecticut lead the way in not just points, but field goal percentage, 3-point percentage, rebounds, assists, steals and fouls drawn.
I think I've run out of ways to state that the Sun dominated.
STARS OF THE GAME
-- Jonquel Jones did pretty much whatever she wanted to in this game. She scored 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds, adding two blocks and two steals .
