Sunday's games

[JordyG]

Must not be working too well. Stanford up 21 to 12 at end of 1st quarter.

And they've been missing easy and open shots.

 

[chuck.r]

With 4 minutes to go before the half, Kelsey Plum has 24 pts on 9-12 shooting, including 6-6 from the arc.

Yea..... she gets my POY vote!

Stanford again shows how difficult it is for teams to play with pace for one quarter none the less all 4. Most teams want to pass around the perimeter or use screens (especially on the high post out west) Constant cutting and curls takes work, timing and execution. Also you just can't do it for this game, you players need to do it all the time. Stanford again showing how hard it is to run every shooter, and Washington has many, off of the perimeter. Stanford again showing how difficult it is to play against Plum. You have to make her work on both ends and play physical against her. Players are told and practice for it, but during gameplay they forget she's left handed. Force her to shoot 2's, not 3's, make her go inside where there's help. The idea is to wear her down for the 2nd half. And run Osahor into the ground. Play this team for the 3rd and 4th quarter. A lot of open 3's for Washington.

Good... they put Jones back in the game

that was quick.... triple double

As Geno would say, she was really, really good today.

 

[easttexastrash]

Yea..... she gets my POY vote!

She unconscious on offense.

 

[Plebe]

Plum has 26 at the half, on 10-of-13 shooting and 6 of 6 from 3.
UW up 45-33 over Stanford.

 

[JordyG]

Stanford now running all the shooters off the perimeter and doubling Plum only in the corners. It's helping. Also Stanford hitting their open shots in the 3rd.

 

[JordyG]

Stanford is also making Plum work defensively by taking her inside.

 

[JordyG]

By making Plum work defensively she's drawn her 4th foul at the end of the 3rd. Stanford down by 5 at the end of the 3rd.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Plum has 36. The rest of the team is 6-32.

 

[JordyG]

Tara also did a smart thing against Osahor. Stanford pushed her off her line offensively making her dribble to get into position. Then and only then did offside help against her come down low forcing her to pass under pressure. Why Tara is, second to Geno, the best in the country. Plum starting to look weary as the games pace catches up to her.

 

[Plebe]

Plum has 36. The rest of the team is 6-32.

Stanford has done a masterful job stopping everyone but Plum. And got hot in the 3rd quarter to even things up. This one's going to the wire.

 

[triaddukefan]

These Pac-12 commercials are funny...... The Conference of Champions Maybe in the sports few care about.

 

[Plebe]

Some very friendly whistles have helped Stanford put Plum and Osahor in foul trouble. Both on the court playing with 4 fouls.

 

[Vowelguy]

well 42 pts will certainly help Plum with the record

 

[Plebe]

Wow. Stanford with the huge defensive plays. Goes on a 6-0 run to take a 2-point lead with a minute to play.

 

[Vowelguy]

Plum 16-25
other 4 starters 2-26

 

[Plebe]

Romeo has followed up her career-best game with one of her worst ever. Zero points and has looked unconfident on every shot.

 

[JordyG]

Hard to type with my broken arm from patting my self on the back for my game plan against Washington. Stanford wins 72-68 and the great Tara Vanderveer gets her 999 career win.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lou is very HAPPY that Karlie won

Looks cute, but just don't reach inside the cage. Nice doggy. Good thing we've a better one around these parts.

 

[Plebe]

Plum 16-25
other 4 starters 2-26

Plum outscored the rest of her own team 16-5 in the 2nd half. Osahor had 3 on free throws and an assist to a wide-open teammate under the bucket for the other 5 points.

Much credit to Stanford's defense. Tara said at halftime she was sure they'd do a better defensive job in the 2nd half, and wow did they.

But man, everyone for UW except Plum and Osahor just looked bad, no way to sugarcoat it.

 

[Papa33]

Washington-Stanford: between the two teams-- 49 made shots, 17 assists.
