#1 Stanford @ #6 Arizona - 1/01/21

[DefenseBB]

So, Joan once again, not paying attention as Hannah Jump made a 3 pointer and Joan says "Happy New Year Hannah Jump" as if that's not what she does...arrgghhh.

At least the other commentator is knowledgeable and counteracts Joan's rah rah Az...

Williams and Wilson are alternating on McDonald.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, this one is getting totally out of hand. So much for being one of the best games of the week. 40-19 Stanford. Waiting for the haters to harp about them not winning by enough today...

I have the sound off. Just watching bball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hey, Arizona is shooting even worse than Washington so far. 6-32 for 19%.

 

[DefenseBB]

This is like a hockey game with all the shift substitutions...9 players for Stanford, 8 for Arizona going in and out. Maybe Geno could learn something watching this...

 

[triaddukefan]

Is this Arizona or Northern Arizona

Well, in all fairness, Arizona's shots are fully contested whereas the Huskies....

 

[Floridaduck]

The Tree shooting lights out. AZ not so much 18%

I've been told Colorado played excellent defense today, so it's not Washington's fault they couldn't hit anything...

Careful, you're gonna offend @azfan with that. NAU might be putting up a better fight today than UA has.

If this game is any indication, both McDonald and Arizona are overrated.

 

[Lorcan]

If this game is any indication, both McDonald and Arizona are overrated.

Or maybe it's just that Stanford is that good this year.

Not Joan - Mary Murphy commentator

 

[CompSci87]

OMG...Joan has zero sense of the situation-Az down by 14 and she's touting Sam Thomas on Hailey Jones...

Joan who? The announcers are Mary Murphy and Anne Marie Anderson.

Or maybe as if that is what she does, but was in a slump.

Hate to say... far better team that the one the Ducks beat three times last year. And the Ducks are a year or two away IMO. Brink gives them a presence that takes the pressure to perform off Jones and Bellibi. And the veterans are playing at a high level. Just clicking,

 

[Shades]

Both. But #6 should put up a better fight than this. They look more like an unranked team against Stanford.

 

[DefenseBB]

Belibi is playing a great inside passing game tonight with Brink and Jones. This team came to play against Arizona.

I do think Arizona is a tad over-rated and should be 10-14 rank, but Stanford is #1. I will be curious to see the Oregon game at 9 PM.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona was +4 in Q3 but obviously dug a huge hole in the first half they can't get out of.

 

[DefenseBB]

They have "canned" spectator noise playing in the background...

 

[MSGRET]

Standford is the#1 team in the nation right now. Arizona has nothing that works against Stanford's defense.

 

[Vowelguy]

In fairness, this is probably the biggest game AZ has hosted in years if not decades, where they thought they had a chance. Perhaps some nerves. Also, first game in 8 days, and we saw how well UConn & DePaul did after the holidays.

Did you learn that somewhere today?

In fairness, they did host Stanford without Haley Jones last season and won in OT, I'm not buying the nerves thing.
