We let them back in it at the end of the half.  I still think we are the better team on the court, but we have to play our game.  Our shooting is up to 41.5% and we held them to 35.1%.

5 quick observations:

1.  Belibi had a layup drill in 1H . . . she should stick to shots within 5 feet.  That fadeaway was a terrible shot;

2.  Haley has nothing.  She should not have played as much as she did, imo.  (Tara definitely uses different criteria for subs . . . it would be tough to be on the wrong side of her objective-meter, for whatever reasons);

3.  The failure to get the D board on the missed FT opened the floodgates, so to speak, for IU's late charge;

4.  Team is not making great decisions - too many unforced TOs, and why didn't Wilson hold for the last shot?  (Could have wound clock down to 2 seconds).  Fortunately, IU missed on their end; and 

5.   I also think Stanford is the better team, but IU was getting a lot of decent looks in 1H and just missing.  Outside of Jump's 2 jumpers, it seems like our only buckets were layups or right at the rim (though the NW transfer trey was a nice surprise).

P.S.  Not sure the last time I've seen a women's hoopster airball a FT . . .
