I was generally disappointed in Stanford's play tonight. 

For one thing, we showed we are vulnerable to 3s.  Until 0.1 seconds left in the first half, CP SLO had scored one 2 pointer and four 3 pointers.  CP SLO wound up with 9 threes on 21 attempts (42.9%) while 6 of 29 two-pointers.  (Although Stanford wound up with a lower 3PT%, we were (barely) ahead when Jump was pulled.)  CP SLO spread their 3-pt attempts around (4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 attempts by different players), which meant we couldn't really shut down one.

The CP SLO coach was the most active I've seen, constantly coaching & positioning his players.  Good for him. I'm sure they learned a lot tonight.  I thought they played with a lot of effort and disrupted us more than I would have thought.   I wish them luck in their conference.

I think Tara pulled Jump because the team had quit playing what they were supposed to work on, and were just feeding Jump.
3Q 7:40 Brink missed 3pt  (IIRC, shot clock was running low and we couldn't get the ball inside)
5:21 Jump 3pt
4:11 Jump missed 3pt
4:05 Jump 3pt
3:36 Jump 3pt
2:53 Jump 3pt
2:37 Jump subbed out

That's about as fair and as useful as if we'd been feeding Betts for 5 straight shots.  No, it was less useful (Betts needs more reps.)

I saw one thing of concern that may be a side-effect of our playing much weaker teams:  lazy passes.  This has been a problem for Stanford before that bites them when they play elite teams.  I want to watch the game again and see if I focused on a few weak passes or whether it was pervasive.
