Great play by Nneka throughout the last five minutes or so on a night when nothing was falling for Pohlen. Lots of desire and stamina that North Carolina\'s frontcourt couldn\'t match.

Much credit should also go to Joslyn Tinkle for providing a real spark off the bench towards the end of the first half.

I think Stanford\'s D in the last three minutes made the difference, but I\'m not sure this team can count on their next opponents turning the ball over something like four times in the final two minutes.

Here\'s to hoping Toni\'s ankle continues to improve and Jeannette finds her stroke by Monday.
