We are leading in rebounds 43-27.  We are leading in shooting %.

Those two often go together.
FSU hit 32 of 83 FGA, meaning 51 misses.  Stanford got 41 DR.  FSU got 11 OR.  Stanford 78.8%
Stanford hit 33 of 65, meaning 32 misses.  FSU got 24 DR.  Stanford got 11 OR.   Stanford 31.4%
(Discrepancy is from FT misses that become in play).
The sum of those numbers 110.2 indicates Stanford did win the rebound battle, even taking the FG% into account.

So, where did they get 18 more FGA? Both teams got 11 OR, so that's a wash.
Stanford had 12 more TO.  That leaves 6.
FSU had 8 more fouls than Stanford, so free throw opportunities cut down on FGA.

Stanford was 57.5% from 2, 40.0% from 3.
FSU was 46.8% from 2, 27.8% from 3.
We held their top player to 4 points below her average, and the rest of the team to 7 points below their average.
The big deal was that we scored well above our average.  The 3s fell, which opened up our 2s.

As for FT shooting, if you exclude Shay and discount the intentional miss, the rest of the team was 10 of 12 = 83.3% from the FT line, so this game isn't enough to say the other players have a FT problem. But Shay's FT weakness is critical as she's the player most likely to get the ball at the end of the game when the opponents want to foul.

81alum, on the TV post-game interview with Bosgana, she said that the team had stayed positive through the rough patch of away games. (But then, what else would she say.) If you have any direct evidence that the team had lost confidence and optimism that needed to be restored, I guess I haven't seen it.

(And, by the way, the half time show was pulled out of a can again. But at least we had 2 TV announcers that know the game. But I was listening to Kevin Danna)
