4th quarter.

Dodson is in for Johnson.  Sniezek misses a trey and Smith puts it back.  Finally Belmont gets a basket after being shut out for more than 9:55--almost an entire quarter.  Sniezek makes another 3 in response.  Kaylee Johnson seems to be heating up with 8 points and 6 rebounds so far.  69-48 with 5 minutes left in the game.

So far this is the Alanna Smith show, with 23 points and 11 rebounds.  Sniezek has 7 assists and 1 turnover, and 8 points!  Pretty even scoring around the team with many players in the high single digits. 

Another Smith put back.  Now we are killing clock.  A remarkable turnaround in the second half on defense.  All the reserves in to the game.  Brewer nails a three! 

Stanford wins 74 Belmont 53.

This sets us up against Ohio State for 8pm tomorrow.  The game will overlap with the end of the football game, I think, sadly. 

We shall see if we have improved any since losing to Ohio State the first time.  Playing them without McPhee will be tough.  Although playing with a healthy Carrington we may be more competitive than when we played them last with an unhealthy McPhee.  This will be on a neutral court and our players have greater motivation than their players--so hopefully that will count for something.
