Stanford time keeper helping out UTSA by not taking time off clock.

Once the time keeper made the initial mistake, some damage had been done, but the fair thing at that point is to minimize that damage.  The best -- i.e., the most fair solution to the team with the ball -- would be to blow the whistle, stop play, make sure the clock is working properly [while the teams stay on the floor], reset it, and have UTSA take the ball in again with 13.5 seconds on the clock as if none of that had ever happened. Doing that means that neither team is helped OR hurt in terms of time.

I agree 100%.   I don't know why the refs didn't do that.  I assume there is a rule for resetting the clock and the refs followed it.

Why is Umeh not playing?  The one chalk talk I was at when she was discussed, the coach noted that she was working very hard on her conditioning.  I'm beginning to wonder if she will redshirt and save her eligibility for when she is in tip top shape.  I have no basis for thinking that other than idle speculation.

Is she coming off an injury?

"conditioning"?  With such an impressive resume it's hard to understand she's not in good condition coming to college.  Or getting into condition working with the team for three months prior to the season.   Maybe she's not ready for the speed of DI and coach was looking for a nice way to say it. Or maybe I don't know the meaning of conditioning as used here.

IIRC Umeh suffered a knee injury during her senior season in high school, the injury did not require surgery, but required that she rest the knee for an extended period of time.
