Today's game's score was 98-38, which is similar to South Carolina's 104-38 win over them. Oregon State beat them 80-51. But these scores really can't be used for comparison other than maybe for the non-starters.
First time in a long time for Stanford, Stanford held the opponent to Zero FTs. Stanford had only 4 fouls (12 for Morgan State). I believe Tara noticed Brink was winded near the end of the first half and took her out. (Brink only played the first half of the 3rd quarter before sitting for the rest of the game with 22 minutes on the court, which was high for the team.)
I felt Morgan State didn't play Stanford to win; they played their game, even when that was to try to get shots in the paint. Only 6 blocks for Brink?
Interesting that Brink had no offensive rebounds.
57% shooting is something to write home about. 25 assists in 37 FG (68%) is impressive.
Non-starters were 16/30 (53%; 11 assists(52%); 11/21 2pt; 5/9 3pt in 97 minutes) which is darn good. Remember they tend to get time when the players on the floor haven't played as a team that much.
Starters were 21/36 (58%; 14 assists (67%); 17/25 2pt; 4/13 3pt in 103 minutes). So the starters' 3PT% was not good.
Only 4 TO in the first half, and only 7 TO in the second half.
Against So. Carolina, both teams had 11 steals. Today, Stanford had 11 steals, but Morgan State had only 4 steals. That's a positive sign.
South Carolina had 63% assists so that was similar. Stanford's 11 TO was better than South Carolina's 16 TO. (So. Car. also had their starters play about half the available minutes.)
