Veteran Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said she “wasn’t impressed” by her team’s overall effort: “I just think we looked a little tired. We weren’t as sharp as we needed to be. We have a great player in Chiney, and she really battled in there tonight.”

"The difference in the game was threes," Lappe said. "Giving up 10 threes was significant and in the first half many of those came in transition. We just weren't getting back fast enough. We were hanging a little bit too long on the rebound."

CU forward Arielle Roberson contended some of Samuelson’s long-range accuracy came from the Buffs’ “mental lapses” and wasn’t that surprising. “We knew she was a shooter, but we continued to let her get her shots off, so nothing is shocking about that because Stanford has great shooters,” Roberson said. “We weren’t in the correct matchup or helping off too much or not finding her in transitions. Miscommunications.”

On why Colorado did so much better in the second half:

"I think our defensive intensity increased a lot," sophomore forward Jamee Swan said. "We knew that we needed stops, we needed to play and we had a shot at winning it. I feel like that was the change."

“We turned the ball over 18 times. We didn’t handle [the full-court] pressure very well,” VanDerveer said. “It hurts us a lot when Chiney and Amber get into foul trouble, but it’s good to have those kinds of games to see how people play.
