Give USC credit.

They scouted Stanford well, prepared a good defensive scheme, and executed it well.  Stanford's offense looked stagnant at times.   IMO that was due in large part to a well coached, aggressive defense.

For the long term I would like to see Tara recruit a top-level, mid-range shooter.  I recall Paige Bueckers hitting mid-range jump shots from everywhere on the court. It can break a team's defense.   For the most part Stanford makes points from behind the 3 point arc or close to the basket with not much mid-range capability.

both haley and brooke are excellent mid-range shooters. we just haven't been running those plays.  i believe brooke hit the one mid-range shot she took today.
