I was worried when we were jacking 3's in the first half. Many of them were not even good shots. Ki was dreadful and Haley was somewhere else. Lexie and Cam kept us in the game - we easily could have been down 20. Tara must have said the right things at halftime because in the second half we brought the intensity.

Let's give it up for Lexie. She might be the best COMPETITOR Stanford has ever had. Always fights, never quits. I drive my family nuts because I often rewind plays to see how much ground she covers to come up with loose balls. It really is amazing to watch her (and Lacie). Speaking of which - why no love from Tara for Lacie? Their guards were killing us in the first half!

Prechtel was fan-tastic. 16 points on 6 shots plus 4 assists, 3 boards, and 2 blocks in 16 minutes. Now that's production.

If we play with the intensity we showed in the second half, no one is going to stop us.

Fingers crossed Cam is OK. That's big.

Totally agree about Lexie. Every game, every minute. And I too am also always going back to find out how she just suddenly appeared to grab a rebound, make a steal or block a shot. Amazing motor amd determomation.

One of the eary plays in the 3rd quarter was a very Lexie-like play from Anna where she came flying in to try to grab an offensive board and immediately clamped down on he ball from a stunned Louisville rebounder, wrestled the ball away while on her knees and shoveled the ball to Lexie for the layup and the and one. That play showed we had a lot of fight left and were going to give it everything we had.
