BLOOMINGTON,, Ind. -- Jaelynn Penn wasn't about to let the pass slip through. A layup wasn't happening.
Indiana's freshman guard, a key piece to the Cream 'n Crimson basketball puzzle that has seen the team morph from struggler to contender -- yes, contender -- was dialed in defensively as a coach hopes a player is in the closing minutes of a practice and the final days of a regular season.
So when her man cut to the basket and a bounce pass was launched rich in offensive possibilities, Penn stole away the opportunity.
Defense rules, you see.
