I didn't like that the last two games, the opponent had a chance to score and got a good look as time expired, and we were fortunate they didn't go in.

I thought S. Carolina got a good look at the end. Arizona did not get such a good look. I thought McDonald's shot was in the "a hope and a prayer" category. Stanford's real stroke of luck was that McDonald ran the clock all the way down. If she had taken the shot a little earlier, an Arizona player would have had a chance at an easy put-back, because Stanford wasn't setting up to rebound the shot.

We can thank Anna Wilson's defense for that.  Aari couldn't get a clean look.

Good point, you're right -- it wasn't luck, it was good defense.
