So agree on the cal lane violations

RE: WBB: Stanford at Cal (ACCN ESPN) - OCcardinal - 01-26-2026

The 31 points Stanford scored in the 2nd half were spread out as follows:

Alex 13 (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT)
Lara 12 (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT)
Hailee 4 (1-6 FG, 2-2 FT)
Chloe 2 (1-6 FG)
Rest of team 0 (0-7 FG)

Overtime
Lara 2 (1-2 FG)
Courtney 2 (1-2 FG)
Hailee 2 (1-2 FG)
Shay 0 (0-1)
Chloe 0 (0-2)
Alex 0 (0-4 FG)
Overall 3-13

I didn't get a chance to see the game but it looks like Alex was the reason we made it to overtime, but Cal shut her down after that.

The refs have been so bad in recent games I wonder if the ACC resents Stanford for some reason. Last night there was one ball that was clearly knocked out by two Cal players going for the ball. The closest Stanford player was an arms length away, yet Cal was awarded the ball. The Cal center seemed to be in the lane for 5-6 seconds at times without being called and delivered more body shots than a professional boxer. Few were called. However, we still could have won this game with decent showings from Ogden, Agara, and Shay

Duke resents the fact that there's a school with better athletes, more intellectual students, and higher quality faculty now in their conference.

If you have been paying attention that is exactly what has happened. As she has gotten more comfortable with the system, she’s played more. She’s had over 20 minutes in three out of the last five games, including season highs of 28 against Cal and Duke. She still disappears for large swaths of games (including, for example, the first half of the Cal game), and she needs to get stronger and get better at positioning (especially for rebounds, where her production is under what you’d expect for someone her size), but as her game has improved, Paye has been putting her in for longer and longer stretches.

She has already cracked the top-5 in offensive PRPG!, though her defense is a bit behind (seventh on the team). She’s in for about 33% of available minutes, 7th on the team. I get the impatience because of her high ceiling, but in my opinion, she has been made to earn her minutes and has responded well to the challenge.

I was at the game and was very impressed with Alex. She played with four fouls all of Q4 and still dominated on both ends. She (+Lara's 3 at the end) was the reason Stanford managed to get to OT. Unfortunately the team was exhausted by then cause there was no one useful on the bench with Agara out.

Good observation, samiam.

I'm not sure the facts back up the "exhaustion" argument. According to the stats, the bears had FOUR players who played more than 39 minutes and 30 seconds [three of whom played more than 40 minutes - i.e., the entire regulation PLUS minutes in overtime], and we had only one [Clardy]. Seems like "exhaustion" should have been their problem, not ours.

For me, the difference between the two teams was energy. The Bears was first to the 50-50 balls especially in the second half and I felt they had more energy. Even so, we came back to tie them in regulation before losing in overtime.
