Essence Cody produced a brilliant performance Friday night, and her Alabama teammates say they need to see more of the same. Cody, a 6-foot-4 freshman, had season highs of 20 points and 14 rebounds as the Crimson Tide beat Florida State in the first round of the women's NCAA Tournament.

Give her time, Alabama coach Kristy Curry said, because inexperience is easily exposed in a Southeastern Conference stocked with big, savvy post players. Schaefer noticed more than just the points and rebounds. Cody also helped teammates get open for shots. “They are a big, tough physical, aggressive basketball team,” Schaefer said. “Before we can even start talking about X’s and O’s and strategy, we’re gonna have to match that toughness and competitive spirit.”
Texas had a strong season despite losing point guard Rori Harmon, its best perimeter defender, to a season-ending knee injury in late December. In her absence, Booker moved from forward to point guard, and Shay Holle became the team’s new defensive stopper.
