Repeat this pledge after me:
Alanna did miss 2 FT today out of 6 FTA (75%).
But, she hit 4/5 treys. 80% 3pt% > 75% FT% > 50%, so I won't complain. Amazing.
Her misses dropped Stanford FT% to just 38 of 42 over the past 4 games (90.5%). For 3PT%, over those 4 games, the team is 42/99 3PT (42.4%), and Alanna is 12/20 (60%).
These blowout games feel like many of the games in the early 90s. I'm hoping we do as well at the end of the season as '92.
[Anyone else frustrated by Stanford's live stats (SideArm Sports) feed not working during the game, at least through the first half? At midnight, the link from GoStanford still gets to a page that says the game has not started. I've only looked 3 times this season and 2 times it wasn't working. (Last time, it started working in the 2nd half.)]
In the first 4:30 of the game, all starters had scored.
My take of the game is that we had wonderful 1Q (29-13, 1 TO) and 3Q (31-18, 1 TO), a weak 2Q (15-13, 4 TO), and a really bad 4Q (10-20 4 TO, mostly due to subs, but not entirely). IMO, Tara should have done a different set of subs early in the 4th. It appears we subbed back in all the starters at 5:45 in the 4Q to stop a 0-9 slide. Our starters lost 1 point more of the lead until some were taken out at 3:01 (when both teams subbed in the reserves).
81alum: Which opportunities do you want to take away from Alanna and instead give to Alyssa? As we've recognized in past years, playing with dominating players reduces the opportunities & experience of other players.
Unfortunately the PxP doesn't accurately show the subs in/out for Alyssa and Alanna (nor even all the shots). Alyssa did play without Alanna in the last 3 minutes, but with a miscellaneous cast. To give Alyssa realistic development time, she needs to be on the court with Lacie, Lexie, DiJonai, and Kiana. If Alanna is in, she's going to get virtually all of the interior offensive opportunities. If Shannon is in, the offense falls apart. Maya would be good, but if she's available, Alyssa will get a iot less time.
2Q issues: Mostly our offense stumbled. We had 4 turnovers. Lexie had some difficulties, as did Shannon. (One TO charged to Kiana should have been to Shannon.) No long scoring drought, but we had more difficult shots and deflected shots. We were 7 of 19 in shooting for the quarter (37%).

The travel called on Alanna in the lane was not correct. She did pick up her pivot foot, but had passed the ball well before she put it down.
I was watching the officiating in the ASU-OSU game. It is frustrating how many calls by the officials were questionable (that was a Missy game, but the missed calls were spread around).
Quote:Even if Alanna misses as many FT in a game as the whole team has missed in the previous 3 games, as long as she hits at least 50% of her FTA and does better with her 3PT% than her FT%, I will not complain.
