I haven't seen the presser posted yet, but the AP story has a quote from Tara, stating the obvious.

"Our first quarter was pretty good, and then our second quarter was just abysmal. Our defense, we really didn't do a whole lot right," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "We didn't play well offensively, we didn't play well defensively, and we didn't rebound. So that's pretty hard to win games when you're really not getting it done in any of those three things."

In January 2019 we unexpectedly lost at Utah on the second game of a difficult road trip.  Why?  A little known player, who happened to be from northern California, "went off" for Utah and scored 23 points.  Her name was Erika Bean. 

Erika, meet Elle Ladine.

Reminds me of the old football days in the '70's and 80's when we would take a very average opposing offensive skill player and make him look like a H-man candidate.

Unfortunately this game shows that the U$C one was not a fluke. We are capable of playing very poorly and when we do that against a decent team we are likely to lose.
