Tennessee (23) @ Stanford (1) - 12/18/19

[nwhoopfan]

While it's not the Bay Area it's certainly not a hostile environment for Stanford.

I was just confused that playing in the same time zone is basically like a home game, even if it's in another country. Or maybe I misunderstood the previous poster.

Yeah, I agree that their posting didn't make sense, but I took it to mean that Stanford hasn't had a true road game outside of San Francisco. Stanford will have plenty of time to experience those with trips to Eugene, Corvallis, Tempe, Berkeley, Los Angeles and elsewhere still on tap for the season even if they're all in the same time zone.

Tennessee will go as far as Horston and Davis can take them. Don't think there are a whole lot of other options at this point.

Key is way too raw

 

[wbball novice]

Stanford shooting percentage down from 1st half at Q3 4:32.

 

[FridaFriend]

I suppose playing in San Francisco might seem like playing in another country.

 

[DaBball]

Kiana Williams has really been struggling with turnovers the past few games, which is surprising to me.

 

[Alydar]

Tenn doesn't look like a ranked team, more like the team that can't shoot straight.

Stanford doesn't look like a No 1 team.

 

[WestCoast]

TN 10-39 shooting. Yup.

Stanford's defense has a lot to do that. Very disciplined and physical.

 

[eebmg]

58-40 Stanford after 3. Starting to hit some 3 pt shots.

 

[wbball novice]

Stanford getting some rhythm after the Q3 break. Tenn mired in the 30s as the Q3 is in last minute. Stan at 58.

 

[wbball novice]

Apparently Stanford has made 9 3pters by the end of Q3. K. Williams has some moves.

 

[LoTrader]

I think Stanford looks pretty darn good. Their 3 x freshman are very good. The Hull twins are sophomores. Kianna Williams is a junior. And remember, Carrington isn't even playing.

 

[LoTrader]

OK, that defensive series was awesome. 3 blocks on Lady Vols in one possession.

 

[Mulder]

Stick a fork in the Vols. . . They are DONE!

 

[Alydar]

Stanford's defense has a lot to do that. Very disciplined and physical.

That's not what I see.

 

[wbball novice]

Stanford with a comfortable lead with about 7 m left in Q4, 59-42

 

[LoTrader]

That's not what I see.

What do you see?

 

[nwhoopfan]

I suppose playing in San Francisco might seem like playing in another country.

You know they played in a tournament in British Columbia, right?

 

[wbball novice]

Easy to overlook that Stanford has generally outrebounded the taller Tenn team. Plus they can sink 3s, even though their shooting percentage hasn't changed all that much. Saw one of the few scores in transition by H. Jones.

 

[WestCoast]

That's not what I see.

Tara's teams usually make you earn it on the offensive end. This team is no different in that regard. Stanford is very good and will be better in March and April as its youth matures.

 

[wbball novice]

Stanford FT 75%; Tenn 54.5% FT

 

[LoTrader]

I was impressed by Stanford. They have depth on their team. What a luxury.

 

[Alydar]

I've seen many Tenn players get open about 10 feet from the basket and instead of shooting a nice 10 footer try and pass to a player under the basket who is double-teamed. The whole offense is passing inside, just like Holly's.
This Tenn team is tall but they can't shoot and their feet are slow on defense. I just hope they are still going under screens when they come to CT.

 

[nwhoopfan]

So was a 27 point margin big enough, or are we still not impressed? I mean they didn't win by 75 or 80 like some other teams did today, but I think Tennessee is slightly better than Baylor and Maryland's opponents?

 

[eebmg]

Just a dismantling of TN. Stanford >> TN in every category
