Stanford really extended the lead in a 17-7 second quarter (we only outscored Arizona by 2 in the second half).  That’s not really a profile of a team “running out of gas”, but maybe I’m nitpicking at a press conference platitude.

I think Stanford got a big enough lead that they just played enough starters to keep Arizona at arms length. Arizona is a good team and it took a little more starter minutes than against Creighton.

I went to look at ESPNw stats on the game to see their graph of game flow.  In their video tidbits at the main ESPNW NCAAW page, they have the UCLA-Oregon top-25 matchup (with video clip from PAC-12 network) as a Top-25 match, but don't have anything for yesterday's game between #2 and #15.  Sigh...

ESPNw gave Stanford a win probability of 85.6% when the score was 0-0, 86.6% after Q1, 96.2% after Q2, 99.3% after Q3.  (Not that I believe their win%, but that it is interesting to see how they view it.)

Jones was only 3 TO from having a triple double.
