Stanford under Brink - Hulk01 - 04-01-2021

Stanford is 18-0 in games Brink has started.

Seven of those 18 wins have been over 30 points. Only two have been by fewer than ten. 

Stanford has beaten five top 20 teams in this stretch--Oregon, UCLA, Missouri State, Louisville and Arizona-- by an average margin of almost 15 points.

Then, the key question for tomorrow (and hopefully Sunday) is about her calf/leg injury. Will Brink be close to 100%?

At the game's end, Brink looked unusually active and exuberant for someone who might be playing in three days at less than 100 percent.  And at 90 percent, as you know, an athlete play at 100 percent.  It's just that she/he feels about 11 percent the next morning when the adrenalin, that great pain reliever, has worn off.

Brink is indeed a force. 

Here's a nice bit of stat perspective for her:  In 2007-08, Jayne set the Stanford single season block record, with 84. She played in 39 games, for an average of 2.15 blocks per game.  Through the Louisville game, Cameron has 79 blocks (#2 on the season record list), but she has only played in 30 games, giving her an average of 2.63 blocks/game.  Had Stanford's games played this year not been shortened by Covid, it's very likely that Cameron would already have the season record. And with two games to go (I'm thinking positively about tomorrow), it might yet be hers this year.

In today's pre-game press conference (before today's practice), Tara said this to a question about Brink's status:

"I think she's doing well...so hopefully she'll be ready to play, but I don't know a hundred percent the answer right now. She tweaked her leg a little bit...so hopefully it's minor, we'll see."

Question starts at 17:39

Even if Cameron is 100% do you think Tara would give that information to South Carolina?!!!!

Brink's injury looks like a high hamstring. Concern would be that an explosive jump could exacerbate the problem.
