Watching Tara crack a smile after the game and hug her assistants and clap as she walked into the tunnel . . . Gave me C H I L L S!
You can see the relief on her face. On to the next!

I was frustrated with Demetre but then she just DELIVERED. The 3’s, the brobdingnagian rebound, the steal at the end. And of course Iriafen just refused to lose just absolutely refused. Possibly a top 5 best performance by a Stanford player ever.

Wow. Just wow.
Great game to watch for a casual Stanford fan, certainly I can say that Kiki is a Stanford legend (if she wasn't already), and Demetre has what I might ummm ... call a shooter's mentality. Wouldn't have won without her guts, I don't think.
Those two had games for the ages, but really congrats to everyone on a night when truly both teams came to win.

Demetre had a similar big 3 against Duke in a very key moment. She is clutch.

On her good days the pros outweigh the cons. 2 brobdingnagian shots today. At the same time she got beat for an easy lay up the next time down the floor after the first 3. And the following possession gave up an offensive rebound. She has to score some to be a net positive. Thank the heavens she came through today.

All I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! as I watched this halfway around the globe through the ESPN Youtube channel.
With the way IRIAFEN dominated (41 points, 16 rebounds, 3 blocks, 9/9 FTs), and clutch 3-pointers
from DEMETRE and LEPOLO, this was surely one of the best games played by Stanford
this season. And the electric atmosphere generated by the crowd is also something to be ecstatic about.

-Kiki was insane.
- Bosgana is very frustrating. Big game in Rd 1. Invisible today.
- Cam and Kiki: 24 rebounds. Rest of team: 7, including all 3 starting guards combining for 1 in 95 minutes. In contrast, Ryan for ISU had 9 by herself. Overall we were outrebounded by 6. That isn’t acceptable. Note, apparently there were 5 team rebounds as well, but it’s still ugly.
- and as others noted we got lit up by an opposing guard again. Agara finally slowed the bleeding from Ryan. But the perimeter defense was mostly terrible.
- Lepolo’s problem isn’t she is a bad shooter anymore, though one was terrible today. The issue is she is short and has a slow release with limited confidence; so she has to be wide open to be willing/able to shoot it. Teams learned the last third of the season that you can vaguely guard her and still be able to slough off into the paint. Until she can/will shoot at the 3 line with less space or be able to step back a step or 2, this is how it’s going to be.
