4 minute drought

But back to up 10

[TheFarm07]

We are up 48-36 heading into the last quarter. So far not a good offensive night for us, but we've come up with enough clutch shots to maintain/slightly expand our lead to 12. No one shooting exceptionally well, but no one shooting extremely poorly for us, as we are hitting 43% of our shots.

Luckily, our defense is holding up so far, holding Arizona to 33% shooting with McDonald at 6/19, Thomas not hitting another shot since her early hot start and Reese being a non-factor

[PVTree]

Up 12 after 3. I think we'll need 14 points in this quarter as I expect Zona to score 25 to get to 61 points for the game. I'll be happily surprised (serendipity) if we can hold Zona in the low teens this last quarter.

[Spiny_Norman]

No compliments for Stanford's defense? It's been outstanding so far. Lexie is really dialed in.

Got to keep Brink on the court. Everything works better at both ends with her on the floor.

Stanford also has to be prepared for Arizona to really dial up full court pressure sometime in the quarter.

[martyup]

Kind of ugly, but we outscored them by 7 in the 3rd.  Still gliding toward a victory.

[BobK]

Up 16. Go Card

[martyup]

Now we're cooking.

If we can play this crappy and still lead the #6 ranked team by 16 with 8:46 to play . . .

6 point margin.

I gotta say, Travolta is pretty good on the moonwalk.

Jones has to realize that she is not a point guard.  She now has 6 turnovers.

Just me or do Jones and (Ziaire) Williams seem to have the same issue where they play the game a bit too fast for their own good.

I agree too many to's but she plays point a lot

I agree too many to's but she plays point a lot

I cringe every time she brings the ball up the court.

[PVTree]

Still a 12 point lead with less than 5 to go. It looks like Defense will be enough to get us the win. I would like to win by double digits for those bracketologists who just see the final scores.

[martyup]

Who's doing all of that chanting?  It is maddening.

[BostonCard]

12 point lead with just over two minutes to go.

[BobK]

I don’t complain much on official calls but that was not a foul On Brink. But up 13

We are the campions. I hear Queen singing it now.

[BostonCard]

Not sure fouling with 30 seconds left and a 12 point game is going to accomplish much, but as Bob notes, we are the PAC-12 champions.

Seriously, when there are 15 seconds and you are down 14, what does a time out accomplish?

[martyup]

I just noticed that Belibi has her weave back.
