Oregon played zone because of Brink
Because of Brink being heavily guarded Stanford had open threes.  And of course we made them
Hard to criticize Btink because Oregon played zone
Or great team effort

Oregon almost always plays zone.  That is just a part of Graves' coaching philosophy.  They shift to man only reluctantly, about as often as Stanford plays zone.

That said, it was a thing of beauty to watch how we got Lexie open in the corner time and time again.   She was not just standing there, but running to the corner, turning and receiving the pass for the catch-and-shoot almost immediately.  Worked for Jump a couple of times too.  Some of the nicest choreography I've seen for some time.  Tara's offense, at its best, is indeed an exercise in choreography.
