Late to the game here, and I won't repost what others have already said about the game other than to give a big "Wow!" to Lexie. That was some seriously great shooting. I loved how her teammates mauled her after the game - show's how much this crew supports each other.  A couple other random thoughts:

- Exactly 0 assists for Oregon in the first half, and only 4 for the game. Can that be right? Assuming it is, that's a pretty concerning stat. The only ways to explain that are 1) Not scoring a lot (but they scored 68) 2) Getting a majority of your points from the line or 3) A lot of dribbling after the catch to create your own shot. I typically don't have a lot of faith in teams that play the style of #3. In fact, I'd say Oregon played a pretty good game last night - yet they still lost by 12.
- Graves tried the "We almost had 'em, but they beat us in the end" claim. Gimme a break. I think you have to get it within a few points to make that claim, not "down to 7".  We pretty much owned that game. Personally, I was never nervous.
- I do think Oregon is the most talented team in the P12 next to us, and I think they will beat AZ. If both teams are healthy, I still like our chances at their place and in the P12 tourney.
- Really like how Tara is using the lineup. Pretty much an 8 player rotation with some seasoning from Kiki and Demetre when needed. With every practice & every game, the roles are becoming clearer and the players are getting more comfortable with each other. Just need to stay healthy!
- Give it up for the Sportsbooks. The line was Stanford by 9.5, and go figure - we were up 12 and they had a 3 in the air with 17 secs left. Those folks know what they are doing :>
