I can't find the press conference anywhere, and the main news feeds are only reporting on the boxscore and not a presser.  But Rick Eymer has quotes from Tara.

They played a gritty game. They outplayed us," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "We turned the ball over and they got on the O-boards. The whole team is disappointed. We'll go back to the drawing board and look at things."

"Erica played with tremendous heart," VanDerveer said. "She hardly came out of the game. We need to establish her more in the half-court."

"That's focus," VanDerveer said. "We'll have to evaluate who can help us on the glass. We'll see whose going to learn from this. We have to be a better rebounding team."

[T]he Broncos played an aggressive zone defense that prevented the Cardinal from getting the ball into the post players.  "They were very effective in the 2-3 zone," Thompson said. "There are things we can do against it and we'll learn from it."

It sounds as if Tara thought Erica was putting out the effort.  She also seems to be more concerned about rebounds than turnovers.  (Earlier this year she noted that we had to expect more turnovers if we became a faster-paced team, and she was trying to learn from Kerr to shrug them off.  Well, it does not sound like the turnovers last night were those kind of shrug-able turnovers.  And who knows if Eymer just quoted her on the rebounds but not what she may have said about turnovers.)  But she is not happy with rebounding and is talking about making changes.  Given that Kaylee had only 2 rebounds, I wonder if she is thinking of making a change at post.  Alanna had 6 rebounds in her 16 short minutes.  And I see that Kailee did not play again last night.  What is up with her?

So here is the mystery question:  Kaylee last year came in and instantly gave us rebounding as good as Chiney--on pace to break all the Stanford rebounding records.  Her offense was still primitive.  This year, we have not seen improvement on offense yet--although there have been a couple of tantalizing clues that she has been working on it.  But what happened to her rebounding last night?
