That was definitely a much better effort.  I still worry though that if the threes are not falling the offense is not quite where it needs to be.  A few interesting things were said in the press conferences post-game.  Kiana said she is on track to graduate this quarter, which makes me wonder if she plans to come back next season.  I forget who said it, but Tara or one of the players said they are not able to practice as much as a normal season.  that puts them at a big disadvantage compared to all the other teams and may explain the struggles the past two games - just not really able to improve as well as Stanford teams usually do.  It also seems like focus in the middle of all this, and energy as well, as issues that are new due to this never be at home season.
