I listened to the Stanford audio stream and thought that Kevin Danna and Jeanette Pohlen did just fine calling the game.

A question for those who watched the game - how was Stanford usually defending the high ball screen? Switching? Going under the screen? Sounds like Belmont did a good job of taking advantage of mismatches when Stanford switched with Lepolo or another guard trying to defend a bigger player in the lane. I recall watching Lepolo going under the screen against Duke with the Blue Devils then taking (and making) 3s. If possible, I would like to see Stanford's guards be quick and strong enough to fight through the screen and stay with the ball handler. But then maybe the opponent gets a step on the Stanford defender and drives to the basket.

I am not sure what the right approach should be. Maybe someone here can ask at the next chalk talk about how Stanford wants to defend the high ball screen.
