Parrish shooting Oregon back in this one. Timeout Stanford. 64-55, 5:49 left.
 
Is that player's name Powpow? Is that what Mary Murphy is saying?
 
Stanford hasn't made a shot in almost 5 minutes.

Oregon going with an experienced lineup to match Stanford’s late in the game.

Must be given the veterans a chance to play over the freshmen who have held up well as a learning experience. 😆 Lol
 
OMG! Oregon with two steals. Timeout Stanford. 66-61. Stanford's last FG was around the 8 minute mark. They've scored two points on FT since then.

Wow! Oregon should be relatively happy. Playing with two seniors, one a starter and a young team keeping it relatively close after battling back. At least the number one team in the country had to work for it. I love the talent of this Oregon team. Just think when they get to be upper class.

Mikesell 3-12 and 0-3 from three point territory. She was prone to have games like this when she was at Maryland.

Makes sense, a lot of shooting specialists are prone to off games but some of the misses she had were at really unfortunate times for Oregon. I'm not sure why Graves kept her out there at the end when she was struggling and didn't seem to be contributing much in other areas.

Oregon really could've used a healthy Prince tonight. Down the stretch Giomi had a couple of costly mistakes, and Sabally had a badly timed traveling violation. Parrish was outstanding.

Stanford didn't play their best game but they're just really really good and I think the toughest matchup for UCONN out of any team. Jones is a legitimate POY candidate and they have so much size inside and on the wing.
 
The take away from Oregon fans on social media is they are really proud of the team and the future direction they are heading.
They should be. They are incredibly inexperienced and have fought very hard in both losses, making big comebacks in the 4th after the game appeared to be out of reach. They've also been without arguably their best player in Sedona Prince for most of the season. Give them another year or two and they'll be a legitimate title favorite.

Damn game time prevent me from watching it but the posts here were great to read and get a sense of action and tone of the game-thank you all that posted! Much appreciated.

Now, that said, in reading the box score and this results of the PAC12 season thus far, I have to put Haley Jones in the lead for Conference POY and close between Oneywere and McDonald for 2nd and 3rd. Thoughts?
 
Mikesell 3-12 and 0-3 from three point territory. She was prone to have games like this when she was at Maryland.
Both Mikesell and Sabally were/are very streaky and inefficient on the offensive side. Sabally at least is a strong defender and rebounder but no way should she be the first option on offense. Oregon needs to go back to last year’s offense that focused on more of an outside game and driven by guard play and pick and rolls. All of Sabally’s shots are within the paint but she constantly has shot less than 50 percent. She continues to rush whenever she is guarded (which is all the time) causing missed layups and caused excessive turnovers. Was hoping that this was due to her long layoff but doesn’t seem to be getting better. Needs to realize that with her superior height and strength, very few will be able to stop her shot once she has position in the low post.

As far as Mikesell, Parrish should be starting over her. Superior height, better defender, can create off the dribble and more consistent outside shot. Better player.

Work keeping me too busy to watch the game yet, but wow I’m proud. Apparently they’ve been without Lexie, Jump, and Jerome all week so they didn’t have ten to practice and the younger coaches had to play in practice. And they haven’t been back home since Thanksgiving. Really proud of them keeping calm and carrying on through so much adversity.

We’ve talked quite a bit about how talented and deep this team is/was but what we didn’t mention was how much heart and perseverance this team has to not just survive all the limitations on home games/practices, living on the road for as long as they have but to play as well and consistently as they have during this. I eventually believe you will agree with me this is one of Stanford’s best teams ever, top 3 in my book and if they can win the title will have earned the #1 Stanford top team moniker over Jen Azzi or Molly Goodenbour teams. Just sayin’ :rolleyes:

Sabally has done a nice job stopping the Stanford bigs. Held Belibi, Brink, and Prechtel in check.

That went both ways. Sabally had 6 points early in Q1, then pretty much disappeared the rest of the game. Prechtel swatted her a couple times, Brink got her once. I thought Prechtel quite clearly was outplaying Sabally when they were both on the floor.

Well said. This team's ability to play the way they have has been impressive. I don't know if I'd have the mettle to manage like they have.
