[nwhoopfan]

Start gonna get pre-empted by the end of men's game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Prechtel subbed in for Belibi really early.

Jones is 0-3 but has 5 rebounds and 2 assists almost instantly.

The backcourt doing all the scoring, Williams and Wilson w/ 5 each, 10-3 Stanford.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kinda rough start. 15-7 Stanford thru Q1.

edit--Stanford shooting 33%, USC 15%

 

[Shades]

15-7 STAN end of first

 

[LETTERL]

Awful announcing. Are they ever going to describe the action going on during the game?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford was starting to pull away a bit, but USC answered. 25-18 at the media TO in Q2. I saw a couple game early where Jones couldn't miss. She didn't shoot much against Pacific, today she's 2-8 to start. Brink had a nice brief stint but picked up 2 fouls. Belibi also has 2, she's barely played and hasn't produced much thus far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Do empty gyms somehow throw off player's depth perception or something? Several really bad airballs on 3s.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rogers is having a nice game, leading everybody w/ 11.

 

[LETTERL]

USC trying to keep it interesting. 27-22, 2:24 left in the half.

 

[LETTERL]

Jackson for USC has blocked a couple of shots while I've been watching.

 

[nwhoopfan]

32-24 at the half. I know Stanford can play a lot better than this. Kiana has gotten going the last couple games, she has 11. If they could get all of their players on track at the same time, would be interesting to see.

 

[DefenseBB]

Not the most fluid of games, with poor shooting. Stanford is letting USC hang around. This reminds of the Oregon-Wash game. Keeping it this close is impressive for the Trojans.

And yes, this male announcer is living an alternative reality-Maples is NEVER sold out, hasn't been for years.

 

[Alydar]

I don't see a No 1 team anywhere in the country right now.

 

[DefenseBB]

It's nice to see them celebrating Tara being top winner for now as that will be short lived, so bask while you can...

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't see a No 1 team anywhere in the country right now.

Agreed, I don't think anyone has really seized that yet (granted I haven't seen everybody).

 

[LETTERL]

Wait a minute. I just saw a promo for Stanford vs. UCLA for Monday. Are those two clashing on Monday?

yes

 

[nwhoopfan]

Belibi is really struggling today. Brink came in and instantly grabbed a D board and then got an and-1 on the other end. I kept thinking they should get her back on the floor. I should be a coach.

USC had whittled it down to 5 but Stanford back up 10 now.

 

[Figurehead]

Agreed, I don't think anyone has really seized that yet (granted I haven't seen everybody).

Looks like a dumpster fire first half

 

[DefenseBB]

Nothing gets by @LETTERL does it...

While this game is not as fluid as other Stanford games, I am reminded of Coach Boone from "Remember the Titans" and his quote “I run six plays, split veer” he says, “It’s like Novacaine. Just give it time, it always works.” as that will sum up what eventually will happen in the 2nd half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lexie heating up, Stanford lead swells to 18.

edit--I swear she hit back to back 3's but I must've gotten the Hull twins mixed up, I guess they both got one.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Brink has 4 fouls and probably hasn't played much more than 4 minutes. She's been productive during the brief amount of time she's been able to stay on the floor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC trimmed the lead a little, 54-41 thru Q3.

Williams has 21 points, Rogers has 18.

 

[DefenseBB]

Curse you @LETTERL, I hadn't noticed how annoying that guy was until you pointed it out and now I am cursing at my streaming...he needs to just shut up about a his knowledge of the behind the scenes of both teams and you know, actually call the game being played...
