what are all these fouls?? Stanford whole team is gonna foul out by the end of the 3rd quarter

Lobo says it’s being called fairly and Stanford has 9 fouls to SCs 3. Color me confused. SC is the much more physical team. They could have called a couple on Boston already getting people with the body but they gave her a pass.

Cooke body checked in the air on a layup fast break and ref was probably reading Twitter.

The incompetence of the refs during this tournament is mind boggling.

I actually thought that was a good no call. She created that contact and Wilson was basically there. She didn’t attempt a clean shot and just flailed. They have been letting that go.

Stanford's depth will be the difference maker in this game. Everyone who comes in for them can score. They've realized that SC is a 3-woman offense, and that's not going to be enough no matter how many Stanford players are in foul trouble.

Stanford is exactly the kind of team you need. Ten players and you don't lose a thing regardless of who is in there. They have two starting fives.

Truly think that’s what Kellie is going for. She’s just got to get the players! That is what her Mo State team was doing. She rotated in a lot of players and they never missed a beat. Actually recall people comparing them to Stanford before they played.

Short bench killed us this season. Our offense has a lot of movement and our defense requires a ton of energy. We ran out of steam toward the end.

She hadn't done much in two years, but she's been hot the last two games

Only reason she hasn’t done more is depth alone. She’s down the chart. She’s been playing so well recently Tara has no choice but to keep her in though. Brink can’t stay out of foul trouble so that has gotten her a lot of minutes the last couple games.

PS I really think Justine is going to be a very similar player to Ashton Prechtel. Long and agile with deep range. A defensive presence and rebounder on both ends. A really modern player, going to be a breath of fresh air in Knoxville!

Pissott is about 2/3 the weight of Prechtel.
Though she's tall, Justine is just not a post player. Though she can hit from 3.

True couple more players like Justine in 2022 to add to the four that are coming in and hopefully maybe a solid transfer or two at least gives us a chance to be in the top part of the SEC. She needs to win a player like Ashley Watkins and KK Bransford will definitely be on the right track.

she’s not now, but I highly doubt Kellie will have any 6’4” players who refuse to shoot a layup. She will fill out the next couple of years. Big picture for her has to be 3 level scorer.

3 pt Stanford lead entering the final quarter. Boston and Amihere both with 3 fouls, which is huge.

Jones and Cooke have been scoring machines, but Lexie Hull is so underrated. Not shooting well, but she is tough as nails.

Saxton needs to step up. 1 pt and 1 rb is inexcusable for a starting PF, and she's not slowing Haley down on defense either.
