Right there with you.

The difference in distance about 16”. Stanford had the long or correct in the second half

I am amazed players in the impacted games didn’t notice. That isn’t a trivial deviation. Old story about Rick Barry noticing a rim was 2 inches high, and nobody believing him until they measured and found the rim was … 2 inches too high.

I'm also amazed no one noticed until those games had already been played. Shooting is so much eye-to-rim muscle memory and more than a foot in peripheral vision must have messed with whomever warmed up on that end. I was in a bar with multiple screens after a day in the field in a wind-driven rain, and I noticed from a barstool. You could tell the court wasn't symmetric. Maybe an occupational hazard on my end. Nerd alert!

Basically puts the burden of our path back to dominance on better guard play, both offensively (creating shots) and defensively (staying in front of quick opponents). Notes Lepolo's shortcomings but acknowledges her knee difficulties.
"The sources of improvement will have to come internally. While other programs can dip into the transfer portal for key pieces, Stanford’s transfer acceptance rate was 1.8 percent in the fall of 2022. It was 1.7 percent in 2021. The academic requirements of this university don’t allow many students to come in after their freshman year — portal or not.
"Right now, all of the Cardinal guards are one-dimensional. Lepolo can run an offense in the half court but lacks the aggression or footspeed to do much else. Nunu Agara is a physical defender who doesn’t contribute offensively. Demetre takes too few shots for someone who makes 38 percent of her 3-pointers. Unless Jzaniya Harriel and Chloe Clardy take Iriafen-level jumps entering next season, Stanford will face similar issues creating offense against stronger opponents."
Very hard to argue with that perspective.
Georgia Amoore in portal, outstanding do it all point guard
