This came after Kate pulled Chloe during the timeout, barely one minute into the second half. Teammates bucked her up, coaches coached her up and put her back in to redeem herself a bit. 

From my seat at the Stanford end, I also noticed Talana coaching Shay when she subbed out in the second quarter. It’s encouraging that the motivation is still there to improve.  

Thank you for this because you are 100% right and that was something to really like. It’s definitely going to be a bumpy road but we knew that. I don’t know expect it to be like this for very long.. I just hope it gets better soon to build momentum toward the end of season.

There is one positive aspect to this game, and that was Clardy's progress.  She hit treys and also drove effectively to make layups.  We really need her to become consistent and to ramp up her offense, and today she did. 

I really do continue to like Tess Heal, and Shay Ijiwoye's development is promising.  With the best point guard in next year's class coming in, we are set up to have some really good guard play next year, which seems to be exactly what we need in the ACC. 

There...it took me a couple of hours of reflection to figure out something positive to say ;)

Sadly, we have played poorly far too many times and looked sort of lost at the same time.  What happens when the Portal opens again? Are we going to see further exodus from the program?  
While you can rebuild in basketball with just a few new players, I wonder with the departure of our legendary head coach, are we going to have the same attractiveness as a place to go. We have won 9 games, all home games and lost every game we have played on the road.  Will we do well enough with the time left to even make the tournament?  When was the last time we missed it?
