As much as I prefer the up and down to a slow pace, we rushed a lot of shots and turned it over by being too sped up at times. When we intentionally got the ball into Brink inside, they couldn’t stop her. She had 26 and it felt like still left points on the board. Great to see Hannah Jump back and nice homecoming games from Kiki and Brooke. Onto the next! Beat Oregon State!
Yeah, there was a string of hurried 3s in the 4th q that seemed very out of sync. Players trying to pad their point totals? :)

I thought they both were going aggressively for the ball. I don't think she was intentionally trying to hurt Lacie. It's amazing Lacie got up and continued playing after banging her shoulder.
I recorded the game and watched it again. I enjoy watching our athletes perform without my tension of being concerned about a win. I also like to review questionable calls in stop or slow action. (It fine-tunes my ability to watch a game — he refs are not always wrong and I’m not always right!)
As for the Lacie’s collision with the scorer’s table…
While not saying the SC player was intending harm, her aggressive defense (reckless abandon) resulted in her diving into Lacie’s back with no chance of touching or recovering the ball. It was poorly timed, over-aggressive, and could have caused a serious injury. No, it wasn’t just a part of playing the game.
Watching the replay and seeing the refs go to the monitor, I expected the call to be a loose ball foul on USC, though probably not a flagrant. Was surprised the call was simply out of bounds ball to Stanford.
FWIW - Lacie was asked about the play in the press conference. She said "both of us were just going for the ball. It's part of the game."

Lacie is so magnanimous! I wouldn’t expect anything less.
