Too bad Steph wasn't there tonight.  He would have been proud.

Fantastic game by Brink.  She's got the ability to do this any night, but teams choose not to give it to her.  Apparently UCLA felt like they had to score inside.  

Iriafen had a poor night, +/- of -9.  Emma-nnopu had +/-1 of +11.  For the season (before tonight), the were both 0.58 per minute played.

Kinda a flat first half.  Tara's half time did light a fire under them, but it was choked for air when Brink was pulled for a third foul.  When she came back in, Stanford lit up the first half of Q4.  

I'm all smiles.

Re Colorado: ESPN is probably ruling there's a cap on the number of ranked teams in the PAC-12. They don't carry many PAC-12 games, so losing rankings of their teams to those in the PAC-12 just isn't good business.

Stanford hit 9/22 2pts (41%) and 4/12 3pts (33%) in the first half.
Stanford hit 12/27 2pts (44%) and 3/10 3pts (30%) in the second half.
If hitting 3s makes Stanford balanced, it would seem they were more balanced in the first half.
