#3 UCLA vs #1 Stanford - 3/07/21

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez, only 3 players have scored for UCLA and Onyenwere has 17 of their 24.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford in a lull. This group on the floor isn't really working.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How does UCLA leave Kiana WIDE open in the corner? She buried it.

Brink was back in for about a second before picking up foul #3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

#4 on Brink. Refs are going after her again, like they did earlier in the season.

 

[LETTERL]

I'd rather see one team playing really well than 2 teams struggling to score and having a close game, but that's just me. That's in reference to the ACC game, I didn't watch the SEC game.

Both teams played well; the defensive display was outstanding.

I saw plenty of open shots that were missed. You have to put the ball in the bucket, that's the whole point of the game. I've been unimpressed almost every time I've watched Louisville.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford offense has ground to a halt in Q3. 11-6 UCLA this quarter about halfway thru.

edit--a good chunk of UCLA's offense is coming from the charity stripe--7-0 FTA disparity this half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Osborne is back for UCLA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This quarter can't end soon enough for Stanford. The half time break killed them.

Too bad UCLA didn 't stop the bleeding sooner. Tough mountain to climb making up that many points against a quality team.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, lead is down to 12.

Mission accomplished refs, evened this one up.

It hasn’t had anything to do with poor shooting and turnovers?

Though Darius did just foul Jump.

 

[nwhoopfan]

54-40 thru Q3.

Stanford played poorly no doubt. Steady stream of trips to the foul line got UCLA going when their offense was doing nothing. Calls were inconsistent on one end of the floor compared to the other.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Feels too little too late to come back for UCLA unless they start getting some quick buckets and 3's. Almost impossible to erase a 20+ halftime deficit

 

[nwhoopfan]

I thought they were going to get Brink for #5 there. Called it on Wilson, was she anywhere remotely close to the shooter?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lexie taking over in Q4. Stanford can afford to trade buckets, UCLA can't.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Both teams ballin' now, UCLA just has that big hole to dig out of.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Miller limping of the floor for UCLA. Knee to knee contact maybe?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clipping on Hull, hit her low diving for a ball.

Refs did a good job of stopping Brink, she just fouled out, barely played. Several of them were questionable.

 

[Lorcan]

Yeah, it's definitely been a physical game, and I think the refs have lost control of the flow of the game, so there's been some erratic calls mainly hurting Stanford.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Onyenwere has been spectacular, but not getting enough help.

edit--just hit 30

 

[Lorcan]

Lexie Hull has just been fantastic tonight. Really stepped up when a comeback was being threatened.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Williams and Lexie have 24 each, shooting combined 50% from the floor and 9 made 3's.

Kiana wanted to one up Lexie, and finished with 26.
