Stanford Postgame Thread

If they would have limited the turnovers,
it would have been an easy win.

Respect. Stanford is Good.

ESPN just mentioned only 11% of brackets got the final two teams correct

I'm part of that 11%!

Love this team so much. They found a way to win another close game. One more game to go.

Intense. Say what you will. Look at all the numbers. It's who we are this year. Ugly, but together and winning. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Hayven]

Just for fun, I went over to Lady Vol Nation. Haters gonna hate indeed. They keep referring to AE as “that LSU girl (?)”. Must really suck to have to root for SC in the final.

They are probably calling her that because of the color of her braids

Respect. Stanford is Good.

The four of them were Team USA teammates. Lots of love right there.

Until that disastrous pass to Christyna & the in bounds fiasco, I thought Evina was player of the game. Three big 3 pointers, 6 rebounds, & 12 points off the bench were so valuable!

 

[Biff]

I just want to say that although this game was wicked stressful and not technically the best semi ever, it was a clean game. Both teams fought hard but not dirty. They played basketball. At least there is that.

Why are folks complaining we just beat the 2nd number 1 seed ? I don’t care how many turnovers missed bunnies walks fouls etc we won and play for it all Sunday night ..enjoy the win and looking forward to Sunday night

 

[Valleyfan]

Wow, another incredible win. Love the hustle, heart and guts of this team. This would have been a game earlier in the season that we would have lost, with our sloppiness in the 4th quarter. Three turnovers in a row. But we preserved and kept our composure. What a team. Keep on grinding.

Great Game.....next game we can get Nasty!!!!
It's all on the line..YES

 

[HuskieDawg]

Let‘s not miss the fact that Evina and Nika had 14 rebounds between them. In a game where every possession counted, having two guards pull down 14 boards was monumental in getting the ball in UConn’s hands and limiting second chance points for Stanford.

 

[Urshurak]

Gutsy win. I thought Stanford would prevail
Just based on the things I thought UConn needed to do but hadn’t this season. Like FT’s.

So glad I was wrong!!! Go UConn!

 

[iri10]

That fourth quarter was...well, it was a ride and a half.

The first eight minutes were about as close to excellence as UConn managed over the course of the game, building the lead to 8, though falling short of putting the game away completely.

The last two minutes? Bedlam, absolute bedlam. Mistakes one rarely sees from UConn one at a time, and UConn had at least three or four of them in that period. And yet also a series of ice cold hit free throws every time they were called for.

(takes a deep breath) Survive and advance. (takes another breath) Survive and advance.

 

[jaydee602]

If you told me early in the season that "they just need to hit 94% hit of their pressure free throws in the 4th" I would have said "see you next season"

Especially from 4 different players not named Paige. Azzi, Christyn, AE, & Evina all came through at the line!

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Just for fun, I went over to Lady Vol Nation. Haters gonna hate indeed. They keep referring to AE as “that LSU girl (?)”. Must really suck to have to root for SC in the final.

For fun? If you say so.

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

Can't wait for @MJL243 to perform his magic!!!!!!!!
But I am going to wait patiently.

Me too! I was too nervous to watch! So happy to learn that they gutted out another one! They are just awesome!

 

[bballnut90]

Not the prettiest of games but UCONN definitely outcompeted Stanford tonight. Major props to Edwards/ONO who fought hard and more than held their own inside with no depth. Congrats on the win.

 

[RedStickHusky]

We scored 12 in 2 quarters and won them both

 

[eebmg]

So the music track, stanford was planning is a no go?

 

[Blueballer]

No complainers about the free throws tonight! CLUTCH

 

[Dawson]

I'm so hyped with Aaliyah Edwards and what she can bring to this team in the final.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Revenge match on Sunday. Good time for Azzi to show South Carolina what they missed in the first meeting 4 months ago.
