I wasn\'t too surprised that A&M beat Baylor.  Baylor was mostly one-dimensional.  The Aggies finally figured out how to disrupt Griner.  Having a 250 pounder push Griner around seems like an obvious thing. What surprised me was that the other players were able to keep it up.

I think UCLA would have been a tough game for us.  I\'d love to see ND take down UConn.  If that happens, I wouldn\'t be surprised if the NCAA instituted some rule to avoid 4th meetings of teams until as late as possible.  But if UConn wins (which I expect), there will be no such rule.

Did anyone else notice the John Travolta moment with a few seconds left in the first half?  (It almost seems intentional??)  See attached image.

Some things to note...

• Baylor normally gets five 3-ptrs.  Today they only tried 6 and got 1 (1:30 left)..   Is that an A&M effect?  Probably not as they give up about 4.3 3PT/gm.
  
• A&M did well with Adams out for much of the first half.  Shutting her down may be necessary but not sufficient
  

I had the impression that there were a lot of short arms on shots, esp. for Baylor.  Nerves?  Tired?  I think tiredness probably contributed to Griner\'s foul shooting.  

A&M played Duke close early in the year.  In late Feb, Texas played them close (3pt) in Austin, and the next week A&M lost a close game at K State.

At Texas, UT had a miserable first half (22% FG%, 8% 3PT%) followed by a great 2nd half (59%, 60%).  Rebounds were about even.  A&M had a lot fewer turnovers, due to 11 steals (vs 2 for Texas).  Also 20 more points in the paint, and 2nd chance points.  Adams got 26 pts.  No Aggie was in foul trouble.

K State hit ten 3ptrs (one soph guard had seven 3ptrs and 35 pts).  Sydney Colson had her 4th foul with 14 minutes left but still had 21 points.  A&M had 14 more rebounds.

I do believe that a lot of running will be a part of Stanford\'s plan.  I hope that making 3 point shots will be part of our game.
