Morehouse was #4.  The not-crashing-the-boards is part of their unorthodox strategy.  That is why we had 19 second chance points to their 4, but they had 11 fast break points to our 6.

Their coach is very creative and it is intriguing how he has built such a competitive program around this weird style of play and short players.  30-3 and the second round of the NCAAs is nothing to sneeze at.  FGCU is a stronger program than many Pac-12 schools.  The FGCU site likes to brag that his winning percentage is higher than Geno's or Tara's--not mentioning (of course) the level of competition.  

So who was defending #4?

Sorry I wasn’t paying attention to matchups the whole time. I did notice Lepolo and Bosgana making nice defensive plays but not sure against whom. My comment was literally that the smaller guards seemed to be running everywhere they wanted to and our bigger players couldn’t keep up. But when Haley got going, they couldn’t stop her.

All I can find for today's game on ESPN+ is a tab for gamecast.  It is not listed under live and upcoming. Does this mean that ESPN+ does not offer the video?

Yes, bummer. But it doesn't mean that ESPN isn't there. ESPN+ is showing the FGCU vs Hawaii game today. Absurd!

Stanford vs. Grambling begins

Again, I have ambient sound prior to the start of game.  Like I had yesterday before it cut out for a stretch.  Hopefully we can get the game call from the beginning today.

I expect a lot of players to get a chance to play.  Especially our guards, I think we will go deep.

10 minutes before tip off, we are getting a game call now.

Prechtel available for today's game.

Pre game interview with Tara on now.

Tara says FGCU has a "very very different style that is very effective."  "Each quarter our defense got better and our offense got better."  Our post players were challenged to guard non post players.  Tara calls out Jones, Jump, Lepolo for praise.  Praised several other guards.  "It is hard to play against smaller players."  "Haley had a really nice bounce-back game."  "Betts couldn't find the basket yesterday but that will change today."

"We have a long way to go."  "We are not screening as well as we need to, we are not moving the ball as well as we need to, but this will improve."  A different offense than any in the last 6 years.  "I'm trying to be patient but that is challenging too <chuckle>"

"This is a legitimately deep team."  "If we are able to play 14 or 15 we will."  Notes her young players need quality minutes to develop.  Praised Jump's physical development--great shape--never gets tired and works hard on her defense.  The quintessential Stanford basketball player."

Interesting Brink coming out early with no fouls or turnovers yet.

ETA probably to get Ashten minutes; she’s hit 2 3s already.

We went to the bench very early. Haley and Cam only played 3 minutes in the opening quarter. 11 players have already played in 1 quarter. I'm all for lots of minutes spread around just very hard to get in any rhythm with sub, sub, sub, sub, sub. Hence we are only shooting 37% after 1.

I've been impressed with ASU thus far! Smooth transition with a new head coach. They are adjusting well.

Heh. Normally I do the same but since this is such a low-stakes game I’m just treating it as a fun little novelty, knowing roughly what will happen a moment in advance and then seeing how they’re going to call it.

This is probably not as rigorous as an average practice session.  10 players have already scored in the first half.  Dominant rebounding, a ridiculous 63% shooting, a middlingish 7 turnovers, lots of substitutions.
