I had to travel but got to catch the game online from the middle of the second quarter.
Wow... Now I see what everyone has been talking about.
Yeah, rough edges, but I like most of what I saw. So much new talent!
No one yet mentioned that Lexie got a double-double!
On the live video feed, two men were announcing. They added Kaylee in the second half, which added an inside perspective, which was good.
I suspect the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to have been called by Missy, but it seemed to be off camera so I may be wrong.
(Boo Hiss! The GoStanford.com box score does not indicate the officials. Somehow I suspect that was not an oversight.
Nor does the box score nor play-by-play report the unsportsmanlike conduct foul. (It does say "Technical fouls: none") )
The online announcers didn't notice anything that they reported as to the cause. They initially thought the stoppage was for a clock issue.
Hmmm... Note that 13.1.a would penalize fouls on many basketball plays that we normally see (blocking out, screens, ...) That is very poorly worded so as to be capable of being abused by Missy. (Note that the action must first be a contact foul. This section then indicates under what conditions the foul is considered unsportsmanlike.)

Quote:Section 13. Unsportsmanlike Foul
Art. 1. An unsportsmanlike foul is a player-contact foul which, in the judgment
of the official, is:
a. Not a legitimate attempt to make a direct play on the ball;
b. Contact designed to negate an opponent's obvious advantageous position;
c. Contact away from the ball against an opponent who is clearly not
involved in the play, designed to stop the game clock or prevent it from
starting;
d. Contacting an opponent making a throw-in. This act shall also serve as a
team warning for reaching through the boundary. (See Rule 4-9.1.g.);
e. Excessive, hard and/or unnecessary contact against an opponent; and
f. Illegal contact caused by the swinging of an elbow that is deemed
excessive or unnecessary.
