We need to rebound. We need to rebound. We need to rebound. That’s the only reason we are losing
I don't get the impression that Stanford bigs have learned the art of boxing out.
10 down 8:28 to go. Still time if that play smart.
That’s not the issue here. We’re not even sending players in for the rebound.
agreed. seems to some extent a strategy on offense to send everybody back on defense as soon as a shot goes up so juju doesn't run by us. also to some extent lazy play - i noticed one play in the 4th quarter where hannah stood at the 3-point line, left side, as her shot went up, made no attempt to follow it, forbes grabbed the rebound (with not a single stanford player in the key) and, if i recall correctly, ran back ahead of hannah and made a 3 herself. why we got no d-boards is a mystery to me. maybe everybody was told to watch juju after a shot goes up? but weird that on offense, when we didn't have to watch juju, usc's 3 ok posts far out-rebounded our 2 all-americans.
elena had a good game again, especially on defense. chloe had a good game. brooke and hannah were not good on d and only fair on o. hannah was 20' away from her player on several of usc's made 3s. half of those were triple-teaming juju, which imo was a coaching error - elena plus kiki was enough to slow juju; not worth it to triple team. the other half seemed to be simply losing track of her player. as others have pointed out numerous times, she likely plays too many minutes.
