#1 SC vs #2 Stanford Tuesday deserves its own thread

[VolBall09]

South Carolina is at full strength and their offense looks lost. Where's Darth.....

Maybe….just maybe it has something to do with the Stanford defense

This is the Lexie Hull I was afraid would show up in Knoxville.

South Carolina has stood and watched Stanford steal several huge boards. Surely they weren't surprised that Stanford might give them a game.

Stanford looks very good so far.
They're holding their own on the boards (Actually lead 15-11 in rebounds), and they're hitting 3's (3 of 6) so far.
21-13 Stanford after 1st quarter.

Stanford has great ball movement....Envious.

It’s amazing what happens when you recruit players who can pass and shoot.

 

[VolBall09]

Great to cheer for Stanford again!

They’re so fun to watch. They’re letting SC have it right now. Will they adjust like we did?

Boy can they do that. Beautiful

I want SC to win but Stanford will easily win because, SC is tired from playing too many top rank teams.

We defended her well considering…

Actually Stanford has played arguably a tougher schedule and on the road.

They’re playing very well the last couple weeks. Doing the same thing to SC they did to us. Great defense and taking away their best several options.

Cooke is getting all those looks for a reason. Tara is going to let her shoot until her arm falls off

On the other end they’re just playing really smart offensive basketball. Taking advantage of mismatches, driving the middle of the lane, getting great looks inside out. Textbook.

Precisely. Stanford is experiencing some foul trouble which could become a factor especially if they cool down.

Lol
Tired ???
This is South Carolina's 4th game in the month of December, and today is the 21st.
You would have a better (but still not good) argument that SC is playing poorly because they haven't played enough recently.
Another, in a long line, of "facts" that you just made up out of thin air.

SC has benefited from a few uncalled travels.

 

[SGMVols]

Stanford doesn’t fear SC shooters at all. Helping on every drive and every post up. They’ve got to hit some kick out threes instead of just dribbling into double teams.

I was just sitting here thinking that. If Stanford doesn't give themselves a 20-point cushion, with all the foul worries they're going to have in the second half they could still lose by 20. SC will be able to get a lot more aggressive as Stanford gets more and more hesitant.

I like both teams, so this is a great night for me.

Noticed that too. And fouls. Boston has fouled 3 times in transition and no call. That’s what kept Tamari out. We got zero home court advantage. Stanford defense has been much cleaner.

SC getting away with a lot of low arms on “blocks”

 

[lvocd]

Gawd, Stanford is smart!

 

[VolBall09]

Amihere reminds me more of Candace than any player since. Her development has been incredible.

 

[VolBall09]

Another walk

 

[VolBall09]

Jones definitely just asked the official to call the travels on both ends lol.

Good for her

Stanford with a 14 point lead at halftime ...

South Carolina making Tennessee look good. As always Go Lady Vol's.

Miss Andraya Carter looking busty tonight ....

 

[VolBall09]

Very similar to the first half of our game. Only difference is Boston was allowed to play and Key was not. Officials were doing the most for South Carolina the entire half or it would be a 20+ deficit.

If the Hull’s didn’t come out they were gonna run away with it.

We look great. Nobody needs to make us look good.
