Absolutely phenomenal shooting for the second game in a row. Is this sustainable?Stanford has shot over 70% for two games in a row. Since the 2009-10 season (as far back as Herhoopstats goes), Stanford has shot over 70% on 3s only 3 times.
2011 vs AZ State (4 of 5, 80%)
2012 vs South Carolina (1 of 1, 100%) [NCAA Tournament]
2013 vs UCLA (6 of 7, 85.7%)
We've now done it twice in two games (with a minimum 14 3pts made). So we have indeed never seen this (at least in the last 15 years anyway). Even more impressive is that 26 of the 32 made threes were by players who were on the roster last season (4 were made by transfer Tess Heal and 2 by frosh Harper Peterson).
Stanford did make 15 threes on 53.7% shooting vs Gonzaga in 2022. Only 2 were by players currently on the roster though. Harriel and Lepolo each made 1.

A total of 9 turnovers in the entire game--it just looked like clean play.We averaged 13.4 turnovers last season and 15.3 the season before that. We started the 2021 season with 21 turnovers vs Morgan St. Easier to avoid turnovers when you aren't trying to force it into your bigs on most plays.
