new article in The Athletic about the reasons for Stanford and Indiana's losses.
The article says an anonymous Pac-12 coach said during conference play that our ceiling was not as high as in the past because our guard play simply wasn't good enough.
On the season-ending loss:
"The Rebels crowded Brink and sent multiple defenders at Jones, showing little respect for Stanford’s other scorers, even stunting off Hannah Jump on multiple occasions. Despite oodles of space afforded beyond the arc, Stanford attempted only seven 3-pointers, a season low. At times, the Cardinal stubbornly tried to force the ball into the paint and at other times, were unwilling to take what Miami’s defense was giving."
