67-60 with 66 seconds to go
Honestly, this year I'm seeing so much parity!
!
If they're not a number 1 seed, which #1 team plays in the western region of the NCAAs? And they'll still probably get to play a #2-seeded Stanford in the region.Chiney had an astonishing 21 boards to go with her 30 points but it wasn't enough.
Stanford cannot be a one-seed any longer…but who?
UTenn, Baylor, West Virginia, Louisville, Duke?
Neither of which meets the strict geography criteria.So now the officials have 2 places to send UConn that don't involve playing L'ville again.
Honestly, this year I'm seeing so much parity!
USC has good players so maybe Cynthia Cooper can guide them to the NCAA!
If that win was about parity then the paper should not run a headline about "Shocking loss by Stanford"
So who are the shooters on USC? Have you checked their stats? I would say that was not a good game plan by Stanford, the only player they did well on was Harberts with help from their wings, until the end, except that stanfords role players guarded USCs. The guard match up especially in the first half was a joke. And then Chiney missed a lot of bunnies when Harberts made her shots.
Crook and Vaioletama each had 3 three pointers, and total 8 for USC for the game. Cardinal had 4. In LA, USC had 7 threes, to Cardinal 3. USC is streaky team, but more three pt threats than Stanford. I didn't see the game, listened to first half on radio and got texts from friends who there. Radio and announcer and friends agreed Chiney's shot was flat and missed a lot of chippies. She was tired, but still had huge game. The problem is she has little help.
Oh now I understand just because they hit 3s ie Viaoletama on Chiney and Crook on Thompson they are shooters, funny stuff. I would call it bad defense!
Vaioletama shoots 31% from 3 and Crook 36% from 3!!!!!
You can keep saying something to make you feel better but the stats don't support you and I have watched USC all year. Chiney did not guard Vaioletama well at all, her points were a reason you lost.
