Ashley Jones

The Michigan Daily had a nice article about Ashley Jones and the Indiana game:

Krista Phillips took an early seat with two fouls. Without their center, the Wolverines repeatedly let the Hoosiers come through the lane, but Jones provided a much-needed body to stop the damage.

"We needed to add some athleticism to our lineup," Borseth said. "AJ gives us a lot of it."

Entering eight minutes into the game, the 6-foot-1 forward was able to provide some one-on one pressure on the post.

And while she was called in primarily for defensive purposes, Jones sparked the struggling Michigan offense.

After Indiana stretched its lead to 11, Jones delivered a crisp bounce pass to sophomore Stephany Skrba waiting at the block for an easy two.

It didn't just happen once, but three times in four trips down the floor.

"I just hit the high post and I just hit the open gap," Jones said. "And when you hit the open gap, you find a teammate open."

The baskets were part of an 8-0 run that narrowed the gap to three, but that was the closest the Wolverines could get.

Jones finished with a respectable six points, four assists and no turnovers.
