I will take a 10-0 run in the first four minutes.  Let's make it a 20-0 run!

Lexie and Prechtel are showing signs of continuing their heroics.  Keep it up!

Brink called to be taken out

Agreed, but I  didn't see why.

[BostonCard]

I don't get the Capitol One Larry Bird commercial.

[mbdude]

Couldn't tell who was talking to Brink after she came out

[martyup]

I hope Brink is okay.  Pretty early to be winded.  I did see her jumping up and down when Prechtel hit the 3.

[Langdude]

Lexie looks locked in this game, like in the Sweet 16 game.

-m.

[BostonCard]

Might be her hamstring still bothering here.

BC

[martyup]

I don't get the Capitol One Larry Bird commercial.

BC

Yeah, it's pretty fowl.

[81alum]

Brinks first basket looked like it could be repeated over and over.  I hope she is good to come back.

[Canalejas]

I’m loving this start!!

Brink is in there in spirit; Jones gets the Brink on a three point attempt.

BC

Hull on McDonald looks like it will be a mismatch.  WE didn't get it on that one, but I think it's a look we want.

BC

[UltimateCard]

Might be her hamstring still bothering here.

BC

She hit the deck going up court. Might’ve been shaken up after an awkward fall.

[BostonCard]

Brink is back in.

BC

Brink back out after a foul.

BC

16-8 after one.  We've cooled down a bit, but being up 16-8 is a good start.

BC

[M T]

In like a lion, out like a lamb.

Let's go Stanford!

[mbdude]

Need some better clock management from kiana
No baskets last 3 minutes

[81alum]

Clearly the strategy is to take it to the rim against the Arizona close defense.  Brink, Belibi, and Lexie took every opportunity to attack the rim.

But both defenses settled in during the second half of the first quarter and our offensive spurt slowed down, and their offense stopped altogether.  16-8 after one.  Hopefully the nerves are gone now for our offense, and the adrenaline is dying down for the Arizona defense.

I'm ready for another 10-0 Stanford run!
