Stanford (6) @ Arizona St (19) - 1/11/19

[nwhoopfan]

Carrington and Smith w/ 10, Williams w/ 7. Nobody with more than 6 for ASU. It's kind of amazing they're even within 12 as bad as they've played. Stanford is probably kicking themselves for not being up 18-20 or so.

 

[Plebe]

Arizona State's offense is just fragile. They completely lack individual playmaking, and if they can't execute their system offense to near perfection, well, this is the result.

 

[nwhoopfan]

7-0 run for ASU to start Q3. 34-29.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Huh, CTT did another hockey line change 2 1/2 minutes into the quarter when ASU had all the momentum. Why?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well never mind, ASU keeps rolling. 36-33 now.

 

[Shades]

ASU is back in this.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ekmark was way off early but she's found the range now. A pair of 3's and running floater in the lane.

 

[nwhoopfan]

1 point game

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ugh. The Curtain of Distraction. So lowbrow. I wish it would go away.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Carrington just drilled a half court shot at the end of Q3. That was big! Extends lead to 51-47.

How many steps did she take though? Looked like a clear travel.

Traveling doesn't exist anymore. Harden gets 8 steps to make sure he's behind the 3 point arc.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford back up 10 1 1/2 min. into Q4, TO to ASU.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Big 3 from Ryan. Stanford was up 11, now down to 6. 3:45 left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Another bucket for Ryan. 62-58.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oops. ASU muffed a 2 on 1 break that could've cut the lead to 2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Smith with a dagger 3. 67-60 2 minutes left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ryan answers w/ another bucket, she's been big in Q4. But then Lacie Hull with an and-1 on the other end. Then Ekmark hits a 3. 70-65.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Carrington w/ a putback as shot clock was about to expire. D board on the other end and a foul 72-65 26.3 seconds left. This ended up being a good game after a sluggish start.

 

[nwhoopfan]

72-65 final. Stanford moves to 3-0, ASU falls to 2-2.

 

[BigBird]

Not a great night for Ek, but none of her teammates were spectacular either.

Johnson-Chapman begs to differ. She had a pretty solid game and really kept the Sun Devs in it

Final stats don't pop but Robbie Ryan really came to life in Q4.

Good point.
