This was my first chance to see Haley Jones playing. Haven't seen anything really noteworthy so far.

I voted for Stanford to win, but I think it will be a closer game than most people imagine, quite possibly within single digits. If it turns out to be a 30-point blowout, then it will show that Tennessee is not much better than it has been in the recent past, and I don't think that is the case.

Only one other team has shot better than Stanford against Tennessee in the first half this season in Texas. I'll expect Stanford to pick things up in the second half, and hopefully Jump got her misses out of her system.

I think Stanford also hasn't gotten the turnovers out of their system after a two week break, so you might expect that to continue to improve as the season goes on and the first years get some more experience. While I don't think that Tennessee is an offensive juggernaut, it's still impressive for Stanford to hold them to 24 points in a half.
 
TN only had 3 TO's. Just can't shoot
 
Stanford has played only one true 'away' game, in San Francisco, and they have not played a game outside their time zone. How can we know whether they are a #1 caliber team?

Yeah, Victoria, BC is really close to the Bay Area. :rolleyes:

6:44 Q3 Stan only 2 pts. Based on the eye test, Oregon would be my #1.

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

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
 
.-.
Kiana Williams has really been struggling with turnovers the past few games, which is surprising to me.
 
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.
 
58-40 Stanford after 3. Starting to hit some 3 pt shots.
 
Stanford getting some rhythm after the Q3 break. Tenn mired in the 30s as the Q3 is in last minute. Stan at 58.
