They ran that [box and one] some while Karlie was in, with Karlie getting the "one" treatment. Sometime Tara has dealt with that by having Karlie stand way in a corner and playing 4 on 4, but once at least, they ran a play where Karlie came around and set a screen, giving another player a wide open shot. The announcers remarked on that one.

Later the announcers commented they were running a diamondtriangle and 2 (Karlie & Brittany).  Immediately Alanna sunk a wide-open three.

YES!  That's the consequence of not having a single star to shut down.

For all the comments of how well ND was shooting at half time, Stanford wound up with a better percentage in both FG and 3FG.  The team was 8/10 FT (with no FTA by Karlie).

Interesting that their coach claimed they were more worried about Bird and thus let McPhee beat them. I, too, saw the triangle and two as focusing on Karlie and Britt.

I suppose you could see the triangle part as focusing on Bird. Whenever they were running any kind of zone and Bird was down low, she was getting blanketed.
