#3 Stanford vs #1 Oregon - 3/08/20

[nwhoopfan]

Man, Oregon is scary. Sabally isn't playing well, Hebard has gone quiet after a good start, Boley just took (and made) her first shot of the game and it's almost halftime, and they are leading a very good Stanford team by double digits.

 

[domerduck]

Minyon has got to make her free throws, but nice she is making 3's

 

[nwhoopfan]

I knew Moore can score. She has 13.

I knew Moore can score. She has 13.

She can run backwards faster than those Big Ten girls run forward.

 

[domerduck]

That offense/d sub is working well for Kelly

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford is just all out of sorts. They have nearly as many offensive fouls as made baskets this quarter.

 

[domerduck]

Love it...ducks up 17. Sabrina money.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu yet again w/ a 3 at the end of a quarter/half. She is inhuman with her knack for that. 43-26 at the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

29-9 in Q2.

 

[Shades]

All that rest Mighty Mite got yesterday seems to be helping her tonight.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu and Moore are outscoring Stanford, they've combined for 28.

 

[nwhoopfan]

All that rest Mighty Mite got yesterday seems to be helping her tonight.

On the other hand, the 39 minutes Ionescu played didn't seem to wear her out even slightly.

 

[Floridaduck]

Sabrina with the three to close the half Are you kidding me?

 

[WestCoast]

Stanford takes away Sabally and limits Hebard, yet still trails Oregon by 17 at the break. Only one of Oregon's Big Three has been effective offensively and the game may already be over at the half. Stanford needs to come out aggressive in the third or Oregon may run away with this.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford's shooting has been atrocious. Arizona put up a much, much better fight against Oregon than this.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maybe Stanford thinks they are still in a rock fight w/ UCLA and haven't noticed that Oregon is making shots.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Season high 19 for Moore. Stanford doubled down on the "she can't shoot" mantra and it's continuing to burn them.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Does Stanford normally shoot like this? Woof

 

[domerduck]

58-33 Sabrina has 10 assists

They can score, but the Ducks D has picked up a lot.

 

[WestCoast]

Does Stanford normally shoot like this? Woof

Stanford shoots about 45% from the field and 36% from distance this season. It seems tonight that the Cardinal has settled for too much three-point shooting instead of attempting to attack the paint.

In any event, Oregon is playing more inspired basketball and Moore is having a career game at a perfect time.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bail out call at the end of the quarter. I think if a player turns their back to the basket and just flips the ball blindly towards the bucket, there cannot be a foul called.

66-39 thru Q3.

 

[LOhunter]

Oregon's D is making Stanford's O look worse than it is.

 

[Plebe]

Oregon also getting EVERY whistle this quarter. They don't need the help refs.

You never can hide your rooting preference. It’s always the team that gets hosed by the refs.

 

[Floridaduck]

Maybe time for national media to admit that Ducks play pretty darn good defense. Stanford is not shooting well because Oregon has taken them out of their game. TOS and steals not a big strength of Oregon but they are disrupting Stanford all over the floor.
