[nwhoopfan]

Who woulda thought Stanford is pretty much in must win territory here.

 

[DefenseBB]

Does Stanford get the hat trick?

 

[LETTERL]

Does Stanford get the hat trick?

No. Just NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It can't happen...can it? I mean...USC just lost to UC-Riverside.

 

[azfan]

Stanford will certainly rediscover their form. You may feel a bit sorry for the Trojans by the time this one's over.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cameron Brink w/ her first career start today, replacing Belibi. Hopefully she doesn't pick up 2 fouls instantly.

 

[LETTERL]

Uh oh...16-13, Trojans, at the 1Q media timeout.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford keeps missing their wake up calls...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Although USC is definitely not gonna continue hitting 70% of their shots for the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pili limping off the floor. Just got back to playing, tough break.

 

[nwhoopfan]

22-18 Stanford thru Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

29-18, Stanford on a run. Timeout USC.

The Card are known for stingy defense, it hasn't been that great in these games they've lost. Need to dig in and get back to stopping their opponents from scoring.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC finally scores, 31-21.

Brink played 11 minutes w/ only 1 foul, 6 pts/5 rebounds/2 blocks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC cut a 13 point deficit down to 6, but Kiana answers w/ a 4 point play.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ah, that's more like it. Brink just picked up the cheapest of cheap fouls on a screen. I didn't see anything, but the refs did. #2 and she's done for the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

43-28 approaching halftime. Card running a layup drill lately.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Although USC is definitely not gonna continue hitting 70% of their shots for the game.

Ha, after starting 7-10 USC is 5-22 since. I nailed this prediction!

 

[nwhoopfan]

45-30 at the half. 12 for Jones, 10 for Williams, 6 each for Belibi and Brink.

10 for Sanders, 6 for Rogers.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lead balloons to 22. That's more like it Stanford.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Brink back on the bench with her 3rd foul. I can't remember a player that impactful that has had that much trouble staying on the court. Pretty frustrating.


These refs suck. USC mugging Stanford under the bucket, no call, other end USC player pushes off on a drive and foul is on the Stanford defender. If I didn't know better I would think they are trying to massage the score a little bit. USC chipping away at the lead a bit.

 

[nwhoopfan]

56-41 midway thru Q3.

Rogers is getting warmed up for the Trojans.

Wilson doing a lot of little things. 8 pts/6 rebounds, has snuck in for a couple O boards and putbacks. I really like her game this year, one of the better glue players I've seen.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Got locked out for a while. USC had gotten within 12 or 13, but then Stanford ran away. 86-59 final.

Once Pili went out, it was all Stanford after that. I turned off the game when Stanford got up big...but was Pili able to return?

She never did. Walked out to the court after halftime but it was clear she wasn't going to play.
