#2 Louisville vs #1 Stanford - 3/30/21

Who will win this game?

  • Total voters
    58
  • Poll closed .
Peck during the post game said virtually the same thing I said about how Stanford won the game. This is twice now in 2 days we've agreed with each other. Time for a drink. Or a lobotomy. As a UConn fan neither of these teams scare me at all.

Highlights on ESPN just now...nothing with Lexie Hull. That's ridiculous. 21 pts/9 reb and all kinds of hustle plays. Pretchtel was huge in the 2nd half, and Williams shook off a bad start to finish strong, but they absolutely don't win that game w/out Lexie.
 
Prechtel is one of my favorites. Her three ball is no pretty for a 6-5 post. If she can hit her threes against Boston and South Carolina that will open up the line a lot (though I wouldn't want to drive in on Amihere after tonight).

While I agree, they have been shooting is MUCH better as of late down the stretch this year. Evina has been big for them.
Westbrook didn't score a single point vs SC... let that sink in :D

Saying that CT has been doing anything "MUCH better as of late down the stretch" should be taken with a pound of salt. They do that "down the stretch" every year. Look at who they play, and who defends them "down the stretch" every year.....
 
You could see Dixon of Louisville sobbing and throwing her arms like she was angry as the team walked back into the tunnel. Did something happen with her during the game?

Stanford looked like a really frustrated team that knew they were better than what they were playing.

Then one or two things clicked and they cruised.

Pretty accurate assessment. Once they calmed down they cruised. Their depth is pretty incredible with being able to bring in Belibi and Prechtel off the bench, not to mention Hull and Jump as options too. SC vs Stanford should be a great semifinal game. Im very excited to see Brink go up against Boston, both players have immense length and are playing well.
 
Was Brink hurt? Maybe a hamstring? With Lexie Hull, she seemed to me the only Stanford player who was ready in the first half. Everyone else seemed casual/passive (Wilson, Jones) or out of control (Williams), so it's difficult for me to imagine that Tara decided to sit her for most of the second half without there being some sort of physical issue.

Brink looked normal on the bench with her reactions, like on one of Prechtels 3s she ran in front of Tara. Not saying that she doesn't have an injury, but she looked fine. I just think it's a case of Stanford having a ton of depth, and Tara giving another player the chance to see if she could do something. And Prechtel definitely helped out immensely. Louisville runs a small lineup, so that's probably why it was one or the other. I think against SC Prechtel and Brink could see some time together, especially because they spread the floor.

Yes, she was hurt. She volunteered to go back in, but Tara thought she wasn't moving well and took her out again. Tara hopes she'll be okay for the final four with some rest and treatment. (This info is from the postgame press conference.)
 
That game was a perfect thumbnail of Louisville’s season: started off super strong, reached a peak midway, then sputtered in the homestretch.

Louisville beat Stanford by 27 in 2018. Stanford beat Louisville by 27 in the second half last night. :eek:

I’ve always felt it’s better to have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
