Run got to 40-16

Prechtel leading the Stanford scoring with 6-6! Great confidence. Now Hull leads. She has played well all game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Evans trying to keep them in it, back to back 3's. 68-60 3:30 left.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Louisville gave it all they had, not sure they add enough offense for this one, plus Stanford size has killed them at times

 

[hoopsfan22]

there ya go run clock Stanford and then knock down a 3

 

[Blueballer]

Warm up that bus.

 

[SimpleDawg]

Stunning turn of events. WOW Louisville in that 2nd half forgot how to play, pretty much did everything wrong.

 

[CTGirl15]

Hull and Prechtel the difference makers in this one for Stanford. While Williams struggled, those two brought the energy and took over at some points.

 

[DeeHusky]

It’s over now

 

[JordyG]

Nice comeback by Stanford, but neither of these teams scare me.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Stanford looks like the best team. With the way they can shoot 3s no lead is safe.

 

[JordyG]

Louisville is a one horse team, Stanford is not. Ultimately that was their downfall.

 

[garddog]

Well we see who had that 4th quarter grit!

[nwhoopfan]

Better late than never. I don't think Stanford can get away w/ playing a first half like that against South Carolina.

 

[Hayven]

Evans should be the first guard off the board in the draft

 

[SECbbfan24]

Louisville limped to the elite 8 with a struggling offense. Played over their heads in the first half but came back down to earth in the 2nd half.

Louisville is a good team, just not quite as good as some of their recent teams. Its way too dependent on Evans

 

[hoopsfan22]

Now you see why Coach Tara has the most wins in the game. Great plan for the second half.

 

[JordyG]

Louisville from what I can see played them tight on the perimeter in the first half, but their lack of length on the perimeter finally caught up to them defensively as well as their inability to stop Stanford off the dribble when it counted.

How did Stanford change their game plan? It looked to me that Louisville's lack of length on the perimeter allowed Stanford's shooters to shoot over them while Louisville's inability to stop them off the dribble then became a factor.

In a nutshell. Louisville never impressed me this tourney.

 

[UcMiami]

Should be a good FF. Stanford tightened down their defense and Louisville had no open looks after halftime. Stanford doubled their offense in the second half and Louisville almost halved theirs.

 

[sivad40]

Stanford's comeback started when Tara took Brink out and they went small.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I was dumbfounded how bad Stanford played in the first half. Second half was more like it.

 

[triaddukefan]

Great career for Evans.... not too many players can claim ACC Player of the year twice.
