Here's how I see the play in the period where Stanford had real problems.
51-30 Amber, Bonnie, Chiney, Jos, Toni are in the game.
13:46 Amber passes in to Jos who has 2 players on her, and then proceeds to run at her, giving 3 defenders around Jos. Jos tries to dribble away from the crowd and dribbles into a 4th player. TO Amber's player picks up the deflected ball, leaving Amber in the dust. All Bonnie can do in a 2 on 1 break is commit a foul. 51-32
13:31 Amber tries to do it all on her own and drives to the baseline to put up a shot. This move leaves us with only 1 possible rebounder against their 4. Colo.. DR. Fortunately, Colorado throws the ball away.
13:05 With a full 30 seconds, Stanford is unable to get the ball beyond the top of the key until Jos gets it with :07 left. She tries to spin around on a dribble but the ball gets away and two extra defenders pounce on it. TO Amber does hustle back to stop a wide open fast break. A Chiney tie-ball goes to Colorado. (Mikaela in for Jos) A pass back and forth between Amber's player and another, leaves Amber a step too far away and her player drains a long 3 pointer. 51-35
12:28 Amber's player disrupts Mikaela's dribble, but she gets the ball to Amber who drives to the block and misses everything. Counting Amber, whose arms are down, we have two rebounders to their 4. Colo. DR. Once Amber's player comes down with the ball, all Amber can do is run alongside her player and can't defend when she stops and pops from the foul line. 51-37
11:54 Amber is at the 3pt line where the foul line would extend when Toni gets the ball in the corner. Amber hesitates for a second like she might do a pick, but then trots to under the basket. Amber's defender doesn't bite and stays at the block. When Toni dribbles to the basket she runs into the double team and loses the ball. TO
11:47 In the ensuing transition/break, Bonnie is the only one between #12 and the basket. Amber could have gotten in position to force the dribbler to go under the basket. Instead the dribbler turns towards Amber's direction and has no one there to stop her layup. 51-39.
11:40 Timeout Stanford. (Anyone care to guess what I was yelling at this time?)
11:18 Toni takes a shot from the left block. 5 rebounders vs Chiney. Colo. DR
11:14 On a fast break/transition, Amber was back on defense in the middle of the lane. The dribbler, with Toni in front of her, had her choice of one player on her left in the lane or one out just inside the 3pt line on her right. Amber goes toward the far player and the player in the lane gets the pass and an easy, almost uncontested layup. But Mikaela makes up 5' as the shot goes up and contests it, getting called for the foul. (I think the PxP is wrong to say Missed Layup, Deadball OR, Foul) 51-40 Jos replace Mikaela. Taylor replaces Bonnie
11:00 Playing like it is a 1 on 5 game, Amber dribbles the ball into traffic. Surprise! It gets stripped. Tie-ball stays with Stanford. Near TO
10:51 Taylor does a bounce pass to where Amber was, but Amber is backing up. TO Primarily Taylor's fault but Amber's defender jumps to the pass while Amber sorta reaches for it flat-footed. Amber chases her player on the way to the basket and kinda waves at her as she goes up for the shot. Probably not fouling was wise. 51-42
10:10 Stanford can't do anything with the ball, despite getting the clock reset on two separate fouls. Then Toni walks through her defender and gets called for the foul. TO
9:57 Toni goes to double team, leaving her player open at the elbow, who gets the ball but misses the shot. 4 rebounders for each team. They get the OR, and on an attempted shot, it is ruled out on Stanford (but it was really a Jos foul). (Taylor replaced by Mikaela) A shot over Mikaela comes down with about 3 Colorado rebounders and 4 Stanford. Eventually it is a tie-ball on the floor and goes to Colorado (OR)
9:17 The defense does what the offense can't do. Toni steps in front of a pass and takes it all the way for 2. 53-42
8:52 A missed open 3ptr comes down with 4 Stanford & 2 Colorado rebounders. Colorado OR. Another missed, open 3ptr comes down to 2 Stanford & 2 Colorado rebounders. Colorado OR. Stanford is out of position defensively and a quick drive requires Amber to reach in and foul a shooter near the elbow. 53-43
8:09 Chiney drives toward the block to put up a missed shot over two defenders. She rolls her left ankle. She misses both FT. DR Still 53-43
8:06 All 5 Stanford players come back on defense en masse. No one is guarding #11 in the corner in transition. Amber makes a late break for her, but she has an easy three. 53-46. There is NO reason that Amber was just watching the free throw & rebound at the 3pt line rather than being back on defense. But, I think Toni should have taken the girl when Amber wasn't back.
7:36 Shot clock down to 7 when Amber gets fouled. (Sara replaces Chiney)
7:33Â Dangerous pass (high risk, high reward) pass by Amber gets knocked out of bounds. (Could have been a TO)
7:14 Amber dribbles the ball from 0:26 to 0:08 when she finally passes to Sara who passes to Toni who then attempts to drive but is tied up with :02 on the shot clock. Near TO Ball stays with Stanford (Jasmine replaces Sara. I don't understand why)
7:07 Inbound play: Jos to Mikaela to Jos for two. 55-46
[less detail beginning here]
6:18 With :07 on the shot clock, Jos is lazy on a bounce pass to Amber who is presumably using her as a pick, but the defender gets to the ball quicker than Amber. Near TO Stanford recovers with :05 on the clock at half court.. Amber drives & passes out to Toni in the corner who hits a 3 and is fouled 58-46 (Chiney replaces Jasmine)
5:55 Toni misses her foul shot, but Chiney gets the rebound and the bucket. 60-46
5:45 Colo. shot from in the lane goes in. Stanford had 4 rebounders to their 3. 60-48
5:35 Chiney lets a pass go through her hands. TO.
5:08 On a 3pt shot, Stanford has 3 rebounders to their 1. OR for Colo. I don't know why Jos raises her hands like something perplexes her. They drive for a shot & miss, and we get the rebound since they had no rebounders.
4:53 Amber drives and makes a 2. We have 2 rebounders to their 3. 62-48
4:36 Amber gets a steal and goes to the basket on a fast break only to have it blocked. I believe that's the second one she had blocked like this.
4:16 After a DR, Colorado executes a 1 on 4 fast break. 62-50
4:03 Chiney sinks a shot as she's going parallel to the side line, away from the basket, at the block, with her inside hand (not a hook). Tough shot! 64-50
3:27 Off. foul by Chiney. TO
3:21 After Toni is picked, as she takes back over her player from Chiney, Toni's player hits from just beyond the foul line 64-52
3:09 Against a press, Chiney tries to pass to Amber. She leads Amber, who doesn't get to the ball as quickly as her defender. TO.
2:16 Against a press, Amber picks up her dribble and tries to push between two defenders (to what purpose?). She travels. TO
1:32 In the half court, with 5 seconds on the clock, Toni is trying to get the ball inside the 3pt line & slides down. She tries to pass the ball from her knees & it is kicked (but not called). TO
