Well, that one last basket put Stanford over the century mark -- two games in a row. When did we last do that? If ever?
There was a lot of good in this game -- really, really liked what I saw from Fran, and Haley was terrific. I think that Tara was not only giving everyone minutes, but also trying to keep legs fresh since they play again tomorrow. There was definitely some sloppy play at times, freshman mistakes, yes, but with limited practice, maybe that's understandable. The thing that concerned me more than anything was the number of fouls -- far too many. Maybe some are because of Missy B, but that's an excuse. I suspect that Tara will really take a hard look at what they were doing that led to so many whistles. Not good at all. Other than that, tho, the stats look great, and no one played more than 26 minutes (Kiana and Haley). 23/12 assist to turnover ratio, 10 blocks, 57% field goal percent vs 27%. Another game that shows a team with a LOT of promise.
