It is good to get a challenge. It\'s even better that Stanford won it. I think the game helped both teams. I hope Stanford learns what doesn\'t work.
Here\'s a PxP of the last half of the first half.
9:29 Long UCLA rebound on a Stanford missed 3ptr leads to a 1 on 2. JP declines to challenge the shooter allowing an uncontested layup. Must have been under orders to do that.
9:06 JP throws a pass to the inside shoulder of KP at the free throw line. KP doesn\'t handle it.
8:59 Ensuing fast break layup is muffed. JP gets a good rebound under the basket but is sandwiched by UCLA. She either loses the ball or a weak pass to KP gets tipped. UCLA gets the ball, misses the shot. TK gets the ball in the corner and is trapped. IMO, Tara should have called a timeout. TK gets sandwiched, resulting in a tie ball. UCLA coach has the audacity to complain that Stanford isn\'t getting called for fouls.
8:45 Chiney commits a freshman foul reaching in. JTinkle replaces her. I think it is critical that JT never gets into a low block position so Stanford doesn\'t get two targets inside.
8:19 After passing it around the perimeter amongst the 4 players, JT gets in trouble. TK breaks to the open spot, gets the ball, and makes a shot.
7:57, Nneka overcommits on a switch on a pick & roll and lets the picker player get free to the basket. JT can\'t rotate in time so it is an easy layup.
7:30 Stanford has 4 players on 3pt line and one inside. We can\'t rotate the ball fast enough to get the ball in and only TK tries cutting. But she gets called for a off. foul that appears to be a phantom foul.
7:22 Pick&roll gets a player open as KP and TK stay on the same player, but no pass.
7:19 NO\'s slight overcommitment on a pick & roll. KP almost rotates in time.
6:43 Stanford passes around the 3pt line and force a last second long range pass.
6:13 UCLA pick & roll, with TK getting too far off the player who picked her, but she apparently deflects the pass. JP had left her player and was waiting there. We turn them over.
6:11 KP isn\'t looking and runs into TK, forcing her to fumble the ball. The refs call a foul rather than a tie ball.
5:47 4 players play catch on 3pt line. Open, but poor 3pt TK attempt.
5:24 Good cut by UCLA lets her stop & pop. UCLA leads 19-18
5:09 JP tries a quick 23ftr. We are in position for a rebound. Ball out off UCLA. I think this was a good idea.
5:05 KP throws a weak inbound play to JP (should have gone out to TK) She is sandwiched on sideline. JP pass to KP is ok, but KP is sandwiched on the end line and never gets possession. KP winds up being called for a foul as she falls. Good UCLA defense.
4:44 We have 3 defenders on 2 players down low, UCLA gets a good shot from 18ft.
4:17 Passing around the perimeter again. JT fumbles on the sideline but gets it out to LL who tries a 24ftr. We are 3 on 4 for the rebound, but UCLA gets it,
4:06 Resulting fast break is thwarted by LL who almost gets a charge. Then LL recovers to break up a pass to an open player. Turnover.
3:55 Stanford is quickly down the floor and NO gets the ball at 7\', but when she puts it down to take a dribble, a defender gets it from her.
3:48 3 on 2 UCLA break results in a 18\' missed shot. JP boxes out and Stanford gets the ball out of bounds.
3:33 MMurphy & SBoothe are now in. SB sets up in the post and NO wanders the baseline. Offensive motion happens, but a pass goes right through MM\'s hands and results in a back court call.
3:05 MM disrupts a pass which results in a UCLA turnover.
2:35 NO sets up on the elbow with SB down low. MM\'s lob to SB is too low and deflected out of bounds. MM throws a pass into SB without making eye contact. Unexpected pass sails out of bounds.
2:22 MM gets picked, JP doesn\'t rotate. SB is too late moving out. 12ft basket.
2:10 NO tries a quick 19\' shot. Only SB under the basket. The 3 UCLA rebounders get it.
1:59 NO, SB, KP all guard 1 player. UCLA gets the ball out for an open 19\' basket.
1:41 We are getting separation on offense. MM almost throws the ball away on a no-look pass to KP. KP hits a 3ptr.
1:11 SB steps out on a pick&roll. JP tries to go on top of the pick. NO is fighting her player and winds up facing the wrong way and can\'t rotate. Easy UCLA layup.
0:44 SB clumsily runs into a UCLA player and is called.
0:15 KP plays off her player too much, allowing her player to get off a 3pt basket.
0:06 MRuef can\'t see anywhere to pass and just holds the ball until 0:02.0 and hands off to KP. (MR continues to just watch) A 3pt contested shot at 0:00.1 doesn\'t go in.
We played ok with 2 players in position inside the 3pt line, and poorly with only one.
