No stats yet. This was NOT the game I expected. I think UNC realized they didn\'t want to run against Stanford, so they didn\'t. We won the first half rebounds. They killed us in the 2nd half. I felt like Sylvia had given a Pat Summit style half time, uh, encouragement.
Jeanette obviously did not have her shot. Nobody had a 3pt shot. But thankfully Jeanette had her 91% FT working at the end.
Ok, Stanford has shown they can win when our 3ptrs don\'t fall. Let\'s hope they can get the shots to fall over the next 3 games.
Some questionable calls, but generally ok by tournament standards. I saw several fouls that should have been called. The most important was that instead of a foul on UNC for a charge into Nneka, Chiney got called for her fourth on a no-contact play. I didn\'t see a make-up call for that one. On the radio, I guess Ros hadn\'t seen Chiney play. She was surprised at Chiney grabbing like she did.
Silver lining time: This should give us confidence if we get in another close game. It should give Tinkle, Ruef, Boothe and Kokenis confidence and help them be ready to play more.
Some non-game pet peeves: Gametracker quit updating 35 seconds into the second half, so I couldn\'t keep track of the stats, timeouts, fouls, etc. Ros & Kevin on KZSU helped.
After the game, no more coverage of the women\'s tournament. Over on ESPN, they claim "10:32 PT Live" but the only women\'s game mentioned was Tennessee. At 10:57, they do have highlights.
