Kudos to Fran. Her best game of the season; rebounding, scoring, and D. Her play today reinforced our belief inour post depth and she deserved the extensive PT today.
Brink was her dominant self and showed why I think she should have been POY. She sat with 3 fouls and Oregon closed to 6. Tara brings her back in and we go back up by 13. She takes over the game. Paopao had a great game but she only kept the ducks somewhat in the game, she couldn't turn the game around like Cam did.
Haley had some nice assists and her usual strong rebounding game, but her shooting was off. Most of all, her decision-making was often poor, in her turnovers, and when and how she took shots. Tara made a statement late when Paopao was going off and threatening to give us trouble down the stretch. Tara sat Haley and put in AEN - a coment on Haley's D.
There's a poster who thinks Lepolo and Emma-Nnopu are a disaster. That was proven wrong today as the combo helped build our 1st Q lead and was good at the end. Poster also lobbies for Nivar over Lepolo and the actual performance was evident. Lepolo had 10 pts., 5 assists, no turnovers and hit clutch FTs late.
Jump played well and got us off to a good start. she also hit key FTs.
Disappointed in Nivar and Bosgana. Elena missed a wide open three and didn't look good on D in her highly limited minutes (2). Not fair to be critical in such short PT, but we need our bench players coming in and providing instant help. Demetre and Kiki were also non-contributors. Betts played good in her 8 minutes. Ashten only got a couple of minutes but played good D in that short stint.
Overall, our shooting needs to be better. We missed a lot of chippies, mid range shots, and open threes. FT shooting was ok (75%) and real good at the end, but would liek to see 80-90% as we get further into tournaments. Rebounding was terrific. Oregon has size but we were much better. Points in the paint were important and turnovers were reasonable (10 total) with not too many dumb pass turnovers.
Officiating was horse manure. The two men refs should be consigned to do games in Siberia. There were so many bad calls and non-calls, I wouldn't know where to start in describing them. I will say that thre fouls on Brink were bogus. One should have been on Demtre not Cam. Another was Brink heading starting to head down court after a duck miss and Stanford D rebound and the duck player falls into Cam. Another one was as pointed out by Tony and alum81 a foul on duck players mauling her. . I did write a letter to the commish at the P12 this week complaining about the poor officiating. I'm sure it just goes into the circualr file and the bad officiating will continue. It's ridiculous. I hope that it shows up obvious in non-Stanford games and there is more feedback to the conference.
