I watched the game at Old Pros at the one TV carrying the game.  We all enjoyed it, but we kept wondering, "Why is Chiney still in the game", esp. after Bonnie went down.  38 minutes for Chiney in the first of (knock, knock) 3 games in 3 days.  In that first half that some are questioning, Stanford shot 44.4% FG% and 38.5% 3PT% while holding WSU to 31.4% FG% and 10% 3PT%, and led by 12.  Not bad.  The 2nd half was even better:  60% FG% and 62.5% 3PT%.

To me, the bothersome thing is WSU got 15 more shots than we did.  Essentially, both teams got the same % of offensive rebounds (37%) and defensive rebounds (64%).  But, that is an improvement over the previous game, where Stanford was 32% and a poor 59%.

The Stanford turnovers & WSU rebounds weren't from the last minute of the game.

WSU was credited with 12 points off fast breaks, high for the season against us.  So was the 30 bench points by WSU.  Our 10 3-pointers was high for the season.  We gave up 60 points for the first time since Feb. 1.

Just to remind people, the scores against Colorado were 57-40 and 69-56.  We split on the rebounding battle.  The most steals against us were at Colorado, with the other game above average.


Maybe Tara left Chiney in to get a 20-20 game.  But she achieved that with 3:26 left in the game, well after Bonnie went down and well before she was pulled.
