I thing the reason for the disproportionate funneling of feeds to Chiney tonight was because of who was defending her most of the night: a third-string freshman playing only her fourth college game, forced to play because of injuries to New Mexico's starting and back-up bigs. That's a sound plan on Stanford's part, considering the circumstances. Why would you not do so?

If a starting cornerback and his back-up both went out due to injuries, and a rookie third-string CB appearing in only his fourth NFL game replaced them, I know I'd have my QB immediately and continuously target the rookie until the cows came home. Plus, if something is working great, or if you have a great advantage in some area, you keep working it until they stop you. It's the same in any sport.

After Chiney got her 30, and we simultaneously stretched the lead out to 20-something, Tara rested her and began preparation for Tennessee. At the same time, Stanford's scoring and player activity returned to what you normally see.
