 Antonelli who called today's game was at the Bahamas tourney so I trust her inside information.

Do you mean the announcers that apparently only see PAC-12 games when they have to call them?  The ones going off 2-month old information?
The ones that went on about Stanford's poor FT%?   The ones that didn't realize Stanford had hit 74.4% of their FTA over the last 10 games (131 of 176)?

By the way, going into the game, the season FT% (67.8) for Stanford was better than South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and UConn, and nipping at the Tar Heels (67.9%)  (those are 6 of the top 10).    74.4% would lead every team ranked in the top 10.


Hats off to Iowa (85.5%) and Iowa State (81.3%)  for having a much higher FT% than any of the other top-25 (77.0% was the best of the other 23 of whatever top-25 I grabbed -- it still bounces around a lot).   I wonder why it is that those are from the same state?

Brink has been exceptional at the line in the last few games looking much like she did as a frosh. She seems to be more focused now and concentrating better at the line.

First, I'm surprised by a number of people saying that they were impressed with Reese like it was a revelation. She's been touted as All P12 and one of the leading scorers. I've seen a few AZ games this year and she was unstoppable. I thought we actually contained her except for leaving her open on 3 pointers. Mid range and down low, she didn't do much and normally she kills opposition from those areas. She also didn't rebound as well as normal. Credit Cm and Fran.

Second, I'll bet it has really started to sink in with our players that no matter if you start or on the bench or you get lots or little minutes, you never know when it's your time to shine and contribute mightily. Tara has been brilliant handling the depth of this team and we have seen often that players are ready and step up when called on. Like last year, I think these young women really get the fact that it's about the team and not individuals. They should seem humble toward one another and unselfish.
