The game had our high in FGA (75 vs 72(also against Oregon), avg 59), 3pt attempts (28 vs 27 (vs Oregon), avg 15), and offensive rebounds (23 vs 20, 13 avg). 37% of our FGA were 3pt attempts, just shy of our 39% high. We got 48% of the Off. Rebound possibilities, which is very good, but only 62% of defensive rebound chances. Last time we faced Oregon, they got the season high 12 points off fast breaks against us; this time they got 0. (On the other hand, last time we got 24 fast break points, but only 4 this time.)
Chiney & Alleyne came into the game tied in total rebounds, leading the PAC-12. Perhaps that's why Chiney finished the game 14 rebounds ahead.
The officiating stunk. Once Stanford got way ahead, the officials seemed to want to call everything that wasn't blatant to Oregon's favor. But Stanford quit beating Oregon once we got to a 20 point lead and just managed to stay about that far ahead. (We were up 20 just 11:43 into the game and up 19 twenty minutes later. We didn't get to 25 points up until there was less than 5 minutes left.) For instance, Carpenter got her 4th foul with nearly 14 1/2 minutes to go, and Brenner got her 4th foul with just under 11 minutes left. Both finished the game.
As a result of playing Oregon evenly after the first 12 minutes, we didn't get as much time for our subs. That hurt our development for games later in this season, and for next year. We can't blame that all on the officials, although it seemed they contributed.
Can anyone figure out why Amber & Jasmine were put to rebound on Stanford free throws while the much taller Bonnie, Sara, & Taylor(maybe it was Mikaela) were sent to the defensive end to guard players??? This HAD to be done at Tara's command, but I don't fathom a reason for it. The only thing I can imagine is that Amber can only play backcourt defense (steal the ball) but it seems all her opponents can take her off the dribble in the forecourt. Well, we did do better against fast breaks this way.
I didn't notice that Bonnie apparently had a good defensive game. That is, Oregon didn't score very fast while she was in (34pt/game rate), compared to when she was out (78pt/game). She did get a boost in the scoring rate (but not differential) by being in during "garbage time" (the two teams tied 4-4 over the last 4 minutes (ie, 40pt/game rate) after the first stringers went out).
I still think Tara doesn't play Sara enough, but maybe she thinks the other players need more time. Despite Sara's poor FG%, the team scored fastest while she was in the game. Part of that surely is due to Chiney's put backs. Whatever it was, it turned out to be effective (90pt/game). Also, when Sara was out, the game slowed down to less than half as fast (in: 90+56 = 146 pts; out: 47+18 = 65 pts)
Sigh.. The PAC-12.... I don't blame them for giving player-of-the-week to Arizona's Davellyn Whyte with a triple double in overtime (31 pts, 16 reb, 10 assts). Whyte averaged 24.5 points, 14.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists, 1.0 blocks, 6.0 turnovers, while shooting 47.2 percent from the floor in 90 minutes. (Chiney averaged 23 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.5 blocks, 4 turnovers, 54.2% in 80 minutes. Oh yea, Whyte's team was 0-2 while Chiney's was 2-0.)  But why did they choose a ho-hum shot from Chiney for the nominated play of the week, when she had that circus shot this week.
Chiney is now #5 in NCAA rebounds behind players at power schools Robert Morris, Utah Valley, High Point, and Bryant. She's #3 in scoring and #2 in double doubles (1 behind the leader) and #4 in FG%. Truth is, I don't care too much for individual stats. Team stats matter more, and Stanford isn't as good this year as usual.
