#10 Stanford @ #5 Ohio State 6 pm (BTN)

[nwhoopfan]

Mavunga is gonna easily have 20+ rebounds at this rate.

 

[CocoHusky]

Maya Dodson will be a star for Stanford. Impressive athleticism + effort.

Dodson has star potential but not as a post player. Mavunga is abusing her down there.

 

[Plebe]

Miserable start to the 2nd half for the Card. Mavunga is just killing them on the boards, already has a double-double. 54-42.

Smith and Johnson both have 3 fouls. Bad for Stanford.

She's abusing everybody, Stanford can't handle her. She's a beast tonight.

 

[Shorty Dee]

Stanford is having problems with Mavunga, what are they going to do against Napheesa, Gabby and Azura? Not to mention UConn guard play and outside shooting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Smith and Johnson both have 3 fouls. Bad for Stanford.

Johnson has been invisible and Smith is having a really bad game, missing shots she'd normally make.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mavunga went to the bench w/ 3 fouls. Smith missed another shot but she got hammered, ref swallowed whistle.

Safe to say the Huskies should be heavily favored in Sunday's game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

If the Card plays like this against UConn they're gonna lose by about 50. Pathetic showing in the 2nd half.

 

[Centerstream]

Maybe Stanford was/is looking past the Buckeyes???

Dodson is considered a wing. And I didn't necessarily mean right away, more like over the next four years.

 

[Plebe]

Doubt it. Tara wouldn't allow something like that. Stanford will be a bit of a work in progress for the next couple months.

 

[JordyG]

To Stanford and all of those that thought they would be a tough out for UConn,

But I did warn y'all.

 

[Bernie]

What Stanford returned and brought in with the freshman have them ranked top 10?

 

[BroadwayVa]

18 point lead by Ohio St. Stanford has Bigs . McPhee had 17 at the half, and has been slowed in the 2nd half.
Neither team looks as quick to the ball as Uconn. Nor is the Defense 2:40 in 3rd Ohio 67 Tree 48

 

[BigBird]

1. Missed bunnies and some bad shot selection has Stanford in a bad way. As in down almost 20.
2. The Cardinal seem to lack strength in the post.
3. Mitchell is a wild gunner. “Look Mom, I’m going to shoot it again!”
4. Lots of careless fouling by both teams.

 

[Plebe]

Mavunga with 18 rebounds after 3Q. That's a lot.

 

[Shorty Dee]

I hope Smith will be ok. I do not like to see any player get hurt.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mavunga has 15 points and 18 boards, and sat out quite a bit of the 3rd quarter after she picked up her 3rd foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

22 offensive rebounds for tOSU. That's really the difference. Their 3 point shooting has really cooled off after a hot start.

 

[donalddoowop]

Maryland will be down this year, but how much down? Hard to say. They'll get Christinaki in December and she should help them a lot.

Michigan will be decent. They won the WNIT last year, they got their two best players back, and they're hungry. I expect them to make the NCAA tournament.

Rutgers is a completely different roster this year. They might be decent, but who knows.

They lost the player whose last name started with a G, Gondrezyk? maybe. I thought she was considered one of their two best players.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh...wasn't that just a blatantly obvious kicked ball by the OSU defender that the ref ignored?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mitchell tearing it up to start the 4th quarter. Now has 30 for the game. Mavunga w/ 20 boards.

 

[Plebe]

They lost the player whose last name started with a G, Gondrezyk? maybe. I thought she was considered one of their two best players.

Kysre Gondrezyk, transferred to West Virginia. She was their #3 scorer (by a narrow margin behind #2) before she left.

Flaherty and Thome are their top 2. Thome is also their leading rebounder.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford finally starting to get some 3's to go, but too little too late probably.
