<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Final Four always reveals which players are built for the biggest stage, and this year was no different.

She converted 14 of her 18 free throw attempts, showing her ability to handle physical play. As an elite three-level scorer, she impacted the game from deep, mid-range, and at the rim. Hill also added 4 steals, creating defensive momentum for her team.

Her midrange pull-up game was especially impressive throughout the contest. She consistently found space at the elbows and rose up over defenders with confidence.

She finished with 30 points on 57% shooting while adding 4 rebounds and 6 steals. Winfrey was perfect from beyond the arc, knocking down all four of her three-point attempts. An elite three-level scorer, she consistently found ways to pressure the defense. She also made her presence felt defensively, proving to be a true two-way player. Winfrey's ability to score efficiently while disrupting plays on defense changed the flow of the game. Performances like this make you wonder why programs like Alabama, Auburn, and UAB allowed SFA to pull her out of the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["382891"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b1bbbec0de0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='382891' first='Khloe' last='Ford'] delivered a dominant performance in Hoover's matchup against Alma Bryant.

Her presence in the paint controlled the tempo on both ends of the floor. Ford consistently finished through contact and protected the rim defensively. She recorded the double-double in only 17 minutes of playing time. The performance was another reminder of just how dominant she can be inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
