UC Davis just defeated Stanislaus State 84-55.  They were 8/21 from three point range--exactly their average.  Four players scored in double digits and all about evenly.  13 players played and 12 scored.  It was a good night for Davis.  Despite all that, they still had more turnovers and fewer O-boards than Stanislaus.  I predict a big night for steals and rebounds for us.

Every so often my predictions come true:
Stanford with 13 steals!
Stanford with 15 O-boards to their 7!
Stanford holds Davis to 17% three point shooting--they make only 4 when they average 8.

Those were the keys to this game.

Jones and Lexie have been in a bit of an offensive slump lately.  I hope they snap out of it soon.

The offense works so much better when Brink is on the floor.  Belibi did a good job, I thought, going 4-4, but the offense just flows better with Brink in place.  

Brink and Belibi, however, were 1-6 from the free throw line.  The best way to defend our bigs is to foul them.  I do wonder how they will do against players as tall or taller and stronger than they are.  We will soon find out.

Emma-Nnopu acquitted herself well I thought.  1-1 and great defense.

Demetre and Iriafan are fantastic, but the game has not slowed down enough for them it seems.  It will.  But not tonight.

I'm not sure how many of us thought Jump would become a starter this soon, but she deserves it.  Especially when nothing was going in for Jones and Lexie and pretty much everyone else, she hit shots.  And her defense looked excellent.  Game leading 17 points, including 4 baskets that were NOT three pointers.  She is becoming versatile and a well rounded player.  7-13.

And Lacie was superb in the first half, hitting her free throws and her shots, stealing the ball, making assists.
