Boxscore is here:
http://www.gostanford.com/documents/2017..._10_17.pdf
Starters: Fingall Dodson McPhee Brewer Wilson. Dodson gets a turn to start--over Smith. Brewer and Wilson start for the second game in a row--Tara is really studying those two as she tries to figure out how to use them in the real season.
Carrington was 4/8 and led with 12 points. Fingall was 4/4, but no one besides those two shot very well. Perhaps we ran into a tough defense--and the fact that we had only 4 assists for the entire game seems to suggest that too. Good warm up for ASU? Smith was 1/9, and overall three point shooting was 2/10, Anna Wilson had 0 assists to 8 turnovers. This sounds like a very ugly game. Hope we got it out of the system.
I'm not getting a lot of information about Lucca, the Italian professional team we played. From what I can gather they have just one American player--Porsha Roberts--who played at SF Austin and briefly with the Minnesota Lynx. They came in 2nd in their league last year and won the Italian A1 championship so they are probably pretty good. UConn, by the way, lost to the Slovenian professional team Celje while they were over there in August--so losing to these professional European teams does not seem all that abnormal. Absolutely terrific experience, and losing one might be more educational than winning them all.
