What a game! Too bad someone had to lose.

Oh my God! Blocked on the final play and Stanford goes to the final four! Notre Dame goes down!

Wow I am thrilled to have been wrong.

I thought this game was over when ND started their run, and that looked to be the case when it was a 15-point game around halftime.

Credit Stanford for turning things around on offense and making stops when they had to.

I was certain the refs would call a foul on that last possession.

If we ultimately face Stanford, we're going to have to defend the perimeter a hell of a lot better than ND did.

Man. ND has to be heartbroken. Holy cow. Two teams played well. Great game.

Mr. Samuelson - get ready for the Lou vs. Karlie NC game!

I would not want to play Stanford. Giving Tara a week to prepare for us is scary.

So the Stanford band gets to go to the final four. I've been to all but two final fours since 1996, and I always look forward to seeing them.

WOW! missed most of game turned it on in 3rd quarter and they were down quite s few points!! What a come back.. Mr Samuelson a very happy tired parent!!

Last play and McGraw is listening to an asst draw up a play

Well. Probably firing the assistant.

She has a week to prepare for the South Carolina-Florida State winner. Then the short turnaround for the NC game.

 

[huskeynut]

Great game!

Congrats to Stanford.

I think the bracket is set up to only play Stanford, should they win, in the championship game. If so, it would only give Tara a day off to prepare.

Stanford's interior Defense is terrible. Gabby and Phessa will destroy them. But TV is a far superior coach in comparison to MM.

I agree....the lane is wide open; Phee could score 60

I am very glad that the Cardinal won! An all Samuelson final would be great!

 

[Replicant]

Hard not to like this Cardinal team and McPhee is a gamer. Congrats Stanford!

 

[cohenzone]

Any day ND loses. - hoops, football, tiddlywinks - is a good day.

 

[mntncougar]

Unlike MM I have great respect for Tara, and it would be great to see Lou and Karlie go at it in the NC. They both want it and so deserve it. I sure hope that's how it turns out, regardless of the outcome.

 

[mrmojack]

That was a great game to watch, congrats to Stanford and the Samuelson's. It had to make KLS happy
to see her sister get to Dallas.

There goes my Chalk Poll. When ND got out to the big lead, I thought the game was over. ND has enough offense with their guards that they should have been able to easily win this game. IMO even though Stanford was a 2 seed and Turner is out for ND, this was a bad loss for ND. A game they should have won.

I was impressed with McPhee's play, made some clutch shots down the stretch by being patient and adjusting her shot to make layups.

22 assists for Stanford, 11 for ND!

If only Ogunbowle could pass to herself. Borrowing Geno's line for Saniya's HS career

 

[Carnac]

I said the game was over at 32-27, and that's been absolutely correct.

Really? You'd call a game over that's still in the 2nd quarter? Be careful with making calls that early. You might have to walk them back...........like now.

Great game and definitely very happy for the team. Not sure what will happen in Dlas, but making it to the Final Four is an accomplishment in itself. Amazing job Cardinal to be patient and not get discouraged at halftime.
