Stanford went up big in the 1st quarter and Tara started subbing well before the end of the quarter, including having Haley sit for a while. Ultimately, she played "only" 32 minutes, low for her, most of her time on the bench in the 1st half when she was struggling with her shot. But it wasn't only Haley among the starters who sat during the 1st half. Ultimately 10 people played before halftime (curiously, not including Kiki). When the early subbing began in the 1st quarter, I found myself thinking that maybe Tara was considering the possibility of 3 games in 4 days and was, given how well things were going, looking to limit starter minutes to keep legs fresh. But maybe not. Anna played 37 minutes, so little rest there.
Related to today's game, Colorado will be on its 3rd game in 3 days. In yesterday's slugfest, Holinshed played 36+ minutes yesterday, Sherrard almost 29, and non-starter Wetta almost 30.
