So you would say that we had the better of it?

It was close but I think, yes.

 

[pap49cba]

And we beat them 1 technical foul to 0.

 

[UConnChapette]

I don't know how I missed the technical, but I did. When did it happen and why? (I had guests over to watch the game and was also making dinner so did step away from the game for a couple minutes once or twice).

It looked like Cheney O had hit one of our players in the head, I think it was Stewie, but there was no call and Geno let the refs know his displeasure.

Was this the time when the designated shooter went oh-fer? Please say yes!

If Stanford had 16 second chance points, that means they had a grand total of 19 first chance points. That's a College of Charleston type stat. Maybe the triangle offense should be resurrected.

Ice - Add worst home defeat for Tara in her 26 years at Stanford to that list.

I believe that a 96% FT shooter shot an airball from the charity stripe. Yikes!

Yessir, even our FT defense was clicking today.

CO had her arm around Stewart's neck out in the open and on the perimeter and pull her down when Breanna rolled to the basket (or tried). Geno was not happy and may have said something!

Yes, and there were at least two other times before that I saw. One was the rebound over KML which was just an aggressive play going for the ball, nothing unusual and I'm not surprised by the lack of a foul call. However, there was another "clothesline" of Stewart, at least the appearance of one, before the one that drew the technical. I think the repeat offense of a dangerous play (with lack of calls) is what got Auriemma hopping mad in a game that was well under control.

Actually, no. Samuelson (I think it was) hit them both.

Yes, she did.
