Nice win, beating a pretty solid team that shot 9-20 from 3. Favorite stretch of the game...shortly after Cam got nailed by CLW with a really hard shot to the face, she makes both FT's, then another bucket, then another with Murekatete hanging all over her falling to the ground. Cam looks down at her and screams something (can only imagine). What a competitor and she's proving to be such a great leader, consistently picking up every teammate. Loved it when Cam and Talana were fiving and laughing down the court together. 

Very psyched to see Lepolo taking and hitting those open threes. Makes a major difference. I also want Cam to continue to take EVERY ONE of those open 3's. I think she's a really good shooter and just needs more reps on the perimeter. If she can find a rhythm, it wouldn't surprise me if she hits at a 40%+ 3 pt clip. Just like with her FT's, she  has it in her to be that good. Unlike Bosgana, when Cam misses, they don't miss by much. And it makes such a difference to our offense when she plays on the perimeter or the high post and Kiki can play low. We saw the high low a lot tonight. Down low, Kiki is basically unstoppable 1x1. Surround her with Hannah, Ogden/Harriel, and now Talana hitting, and Cam on the perimeter. Tough to help off that group. Pick your poison. When Kiki is out, Cam goes to work down low, Brooke moves to the perimeter. If that lineup gets confident and can hit 3's outside of Maples, this team could really go far. Simple game - just gotta hit shots :>

Kudos also to both Ogden and Harriel on their play tonight. Great to see.

Go Card!

it was a terrible call. The refs were horrible all game long. In that particular call I heard the refs say the foul occurred after the shot. I assume it was an over the limit foul, resulting in free throws. All game long it seemed after WSU coaches complained about any and everything, the refs made any and all calls against Stanford. It’s almost as if they were ready to call a foul even if there was no foul. 

And that 5 point play is embarrassing for the officials.

does anyone understand that? it wasn't a rebounding foul after the shot. nunu and the screener collided before the 3-point shot with no whistle and no foul signal. i thought it was a no-call or an illegal screen; but if there's a foul call on nunu, doesn't that wave off the shot? and given that there was no whistle, can you even review a play and call a foul later that you didn't call in real time? (except a flagrant or technical).

Agree, absolutely horrendous call. Should have been 2 FT's and that's it. The 3 pointer should not have counted.

I may be mistaken here, but I think Tara could have challenged that call and they could have used instant replay for review. This article says the following is one of the allowable conditions of appeal: "Determine whether a goal shall count when a foul is committed by or on a teammate of the shooter (“offball” foul)".
