KP had to play Stevenson for some period of time today given the foul trouble on Somfai and Agara. Also neither Somfai nor Agara were very effective at defending UNC's bigs, especially Harris who drew 8 fouls in the game and it seemed scored at will in the 2nd half. Coach Paye tried Stevenson as well who was really no better than her teammates.
I have not seen anyone observe yet that Swain was not in the game for most of the 4th quarter and the OT. She played less than 2 minutes in the 4th quarter and not at all in OT. Ijiwoye took her minutes and I don't think any of us would question that decision. Swain had a +/- of -9.
Loved the way this team fought. Every time it felt like UNC was going to pull away, Stanford would get a clutch score. They kept the game within striking distance throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters and then executed and hustled better than the Tar Heels down the stretch. It was also more enjoyable to watch the offense work better than in past games with 17 assists on 27 FGs.
Success breeds success (we hope). Now get ready for Wake Forest and (especially) Duke at home. Duke handled Notre Dame today.
