Stanford goes down!

[Wonkster]

WOW!

 

[DaddyChoc]

good...

 

[choochoo]

Shows what happens when you don't play in a tough conference and play a mediocre OOC schedule!

 

[choochoo]

The Cuse is another shining example of this.
They might need all 19 of those players next year! Stamford that is.

I don't know if we should be the ones making comments about a weak anymore...

 

[triaddukefan]

Good.

Can't wait to read the excuses

Last time I looked we are still playing in the present, not the future! I am talking about this season. No one knows what our future schedule will look like. Please wait till we have more info on next season. This one is not over for us yet but it certainly is for the Trees!!!

I'm not surprised, actually....we all knew they were the weakest no. 1 seed. And it was really close...so nothing to be ashamed about....

I was just sadly (i.e. - the sad face) pointing out that we'll likely be in a weak conference too next year. I never implied our whole schedule would be weak because of course as you pointed out, I don't know the whole schedule. I meant it more as disappointment in our situation, not an attack on what you said.

Neither am I , just thought it would be Penn State that beat them instead of GA

Stanford has had a great run of five final fours (same as us) so nothing wrong with a stumble this year. And their OOC schedule isn't that bad, especially compared to some of the other top teams. And the Pac is not quite the cake walk it used to be. Interestingly, they now suffer from the reverse fortune that UCLA used to enjoy - there just aren't that many teams from the Rockies west that are that good. You can only schedule so many cross-country trips. For UCLA that was a huge advantage before the tournament changed format - they had a cake walk to the FF every year because they only had to play western teams to get there.

They lost one conference game to Cal, who's doing really well this year. And their OOC schedule included us, Baylor, and Tennessee. I was surprised how lopsided the game was when we played them, but Baylor and Tennessee aren't exactly walks in the park.

 

[choochoo]

Yet Georgia who by all accounts is a complete under achiever beat them on a neutral (ha ha) court. Things that make ya go HUUUUMMM!

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Is it just me... or does it seem that when Cheney gets into trouble... when she has the ball with only a few seconds left on the clock she tries to pass the ball, instead of trying to score.

It is almost like: "Crap there is 5 seconds left, let me pass the ball just in case nothing good happens and then I will not be the one who has the ball in my hands and therefore cannot be blamed".......

 

[svetbird]

No shock here. They were not in the league of the other number 1’s. they are just not that good.

A surprising loss, Stanford should beat Georgia. Stanford's weakness most of the year is outside shooters and not having enough scorers. Tonight only Amber Orrange and Chiney scored in double digits. They also got little help from their bench.

 

[Kait14]

WOW!

Not surprised, I had Cal beating them next game, but either way I didn't expect them to get to the FF

[jdubct]

They had an excellent season and went as far as Chiney could carry them. With that they only lost by 2 and they are the only team to beat Baylor.

 

[SWHuskyFan]

Couple of things stuck out to me looking at the box score. I didn't see the game, but can't see how any of these things would look any better if I had.

Amber Orrange 7-24. That's a lot of shots, would assume not Stanford's plan.
Stanford shot only 6 foul shots. Didn't see the game to judge the refs, but that's an awful number.
Stanford bench 1-2 for 2 points, the only other stat recorded is 1 assist, both from Bonnie Samuelson. That may be the worst bench support I've seen in any game. They only logged a total of 20 minutes.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Chiney had great numbers, as usual. The other starters shot 7-24, 2-9, 2-9, and 1-7. As jdub notes, they would go as far as Chiney could carry them and it wasn't quite far enough. They were clearly the most vulnerable of the #1 seeds, but I'm still surprised at this loss.

 

[ThisJustIn]

I knew they were in trouble when Greenfield went to the bench with a sprain...

 

[Vowelguy]

Amber Orrange 7-24. That's a lot of shots, would assume not Stanford's plan.

Rest of team was 6-27, so orrange was an improvement.
