Text:  "No 1 seed Stanford's 54-49 loss to Ole Miss would have been far more lopsided if not for Cameron Brink's spectacular effort.  Brink had 13 rebounds and seven blocks - three on just one play! - and she almost single-handedly got Stanford back into a game it trailed by 13 midway through the third quarter.  But Brink didn't get enough help offensively or, quite frankly, from Stanford's coaching staff."

I thought that last sentence was quite interesting.

I think that is fair.  Tara said about as much in the postgame presser.

 

I'm not at all sure about that. She did say that it was 'on her' that Cam and Haley had tried to overcome the deficit by themselves. She also blamed the inexperience of the frosh, the tight schedule, and the late turnovers by Jump and Haley. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear her accept much of the blame for herself or for the associate coaches. I also heard nada about bad offensive strategy or not recruiting dual-threat wings. Based on what I've seen over the years, I don't think much of Tara's ability to make shrewd in-game adjustments.
