Stanford vs. South Carolina Game Thread

[Kaizen]

Sloppy early

None of them can compete with UConn...

score is 9 - 8 with 3 mins to go. Not our kind of tempo

But this is what Stanford does. That's what gives them a chance by forcing you to grind it out and keep the score close then they try to pull it out late in the game. At least with South Carolina we seem to have no problem dictating tempo.

Oregon wanted to dictate tempo too - look where that got them..

14-12 South Carolina end 1st

Samuelson didn't play for a good portion of the last part of that quarter

 

[oldude]

Well, I can't say that I'm impressed with either team's offense so far

 

[mntncougar]

Not impressed with the whole game so far

Yeah but Oregon doesn't have Tara as their coach. Tara is the same age as Geno and started at Stanford in 1985 - same year as Geno started at UConn - and she's already at 1010+ wins. Remember when Stanford led us 20-12 at half time in the title game several years back? That's what they do to you. Except this year we don't have Maya, or a player near her caliber, to save the day. I think we have better talent than Stanford. It's just weird things happen when we play them which is why I would like to avoid them. Tara may be the best tactician in the game.

I'm going to state the obvious - this may be a low scoring game.

Tara's wins include 2 prior HC stints at other schools prior to Stanford

Come on, South Carolina!! Get that win. Yes. I do not like Stanford.

We got plenty of shots in the first half of that Stanford NC game, if I remember correctly, it was just that nothing would go through the hoop.

South Carolina underwhelming so far for a #1 seed

 

[Tenspro2002]

I see the score is only 17-14 early in the 2nd quarter.

I hope this is because both teams suck, rather than because both teams are playing suffocating D.

 

[JellyBean]

Man. South Carolina is going to make it ugly...as always. That one shot and done? Come on, now.

Typical SEC offense in other words challenged on the offensive end

 

[GoUconn7961]

I got a little bored so I mixed a batch of cookie dough to bake later..

 

[Blueballer]

SC giving up the O Boards there!

 

[ASweet3781]

We'll see what adjustments Dawn makes because South Carolina is flummoxed right now by Stanford's defense.

 

[Kaizen]

Condoleezza Rice is there for Stanford...

South Carolina underwhelming so far for a #1 seed

Compared to two of the other #1 seeds, they're doing just fine.

 

[Vowelguy]

SC colder than Alaska

15 points in 15+ minutes of basketball isn't underwhelming to you?

South Carolina holding...holding...holding...the ball.
