I'm only listening, hoping that those of you who are watching will chime in.
One piece of important news is that Taylor Greenfield just checked into the game, meaning her injury must not have been that serious. Good news!
*** TEN MINUTES
The first 10 minutes of the game sounds like it was a defensive slugfest, and Joslyn had 4 blocks already! Finally we have bludgeoned our way up 14-7 with about 10 minutes in the half.
*** HALF
Stanford got stuck on 14 points for 5 minutes while South Carolina caught up and took the lead. Things broke open slightly at the end of the half. Amber lays in a buzzer beater at the end of the half for a 24-19 lead.
Stanford has been turning the ball over an uncharacteristic amount--as might have been expected with South Carolina, which is famous for steals. Amber has 4 turnovers and Toni 3 at the half. Keeping Stanford in this game is Joslyn Tinkle, who has 6 blocks in the first half! We are 0-3 for 3 point shooting. Chiney is 4/7 and Amber 3/6. We are outrebounding 22/13. South Carolina has taken 33 shots to our 23 shots, and has stolen the ball 6 times. We are shooting 39% and they are shooting 24%. Toni's shooting is off so far--she is 1 for 6. Joslyn has only taken one shot. In fact, Chiney, Amber, and Toni are the only players to take more than one shot!Â
I'd say that turnovers are keeping Stanford's offense down, and blocks and poor shooting is keeping South Carolina's offense down, resulting in this defensive near-stalemate.Â
Now, if some of you who are watching will chime it, it would be good to know how this is happening. What defenses are being played?
