■ STRENGTHS:
un a team dominated Dy tnree strong
centers, Hyett is the distributor. And so
far she has not disappointed. She is av
eraging six assists per-game this sea
son and was first in the Pac-10 last
season with 2.9 steals per-game.
■ WEAKNESSES: Hyett is scoring
only 5.5 points per-game and
shooting only 43.2 percent from the
field. But with the centers picking up
the scoring, the Cougars may not
need her to score.
