One nit to pick but I think it's curable.  If I'm scouting Stanford, and if my team is playing help D, I would point out that EVERY time Betts gets ready to shoot she puts the ball on the floor.  Even when she's three feet away on the low block.  Need some strong coaching on Stanford's part to take that tell away.  She can get away with that against creampuff opponents but top-level defenders will gladly take the extra half-second to get into position.

Last game I think an announcer remarked how well coached she was since she caught the ball high and never went to the floor.  She must have regressed a little tonight.

Iriafen is indeed the next star.  As a freshman she was already showing the moves and confidence down low that it took years for McCall, Dodson, or Fingall to develop, and this year she has added an accurate jumper and superb defense.  She deserves to be a starter.  And she will need that jumper against South Carolina.

Games balls to Prechtel and Jump for jolting our three point shooting out of a slump.  And how they did!

Best stat:  James was held to 2/14.

Worst stats:  We gave UOP 14 O-boards.  That is a dangerous habit given who is coming up next week.  16 turnovers also was too sloppy for this level of competition.
