Just watched Gravey get his nose rubbed in it, as Stanford showed no weakness and controlled the game by maintaining a 10 to 14 point margin most of the game. Lexie Hull poured in 33, a career high...will she ever graduate? The disturbing thing was seeing the aggressive play by both teams...very impressive, and something the OSU women lack. I don't see thd Beavs having much of a chance, but hope I'm wrong. Our post players are going to have a real challenge against these two teams. Both these teams will rub Scotts nose in it with our powder puff play
Endyia Rogers is a nice true point guard and plays really hard like Mik did. I forgot what it is like to have a true capable point guard on the team instead of putting a hot mess on the floor and just hoping for the best at point guard.
Haha

"a hot mess"? Wow, I had no idea how horrible our team was. Glad you're around to help us realize how totally hopeless it truly is. Pardon me for thinking that the Beav's are actually a very good team.

Lexie Hull poured in 33, a career high...will she ever graduate? She's only in her 4th season. No redshirt, hasn't taken an extra covid year (yet anyway).
You want to talk about a player who refuses to graduate, Ali Patberg at Indiana is in her 7th year. I'm not kidding. She should just about have her doctorate by now.
Anyway, Stanford is just about impossible to figure out. Hull can go off, but she can struggle. Sometimes Haley Jones looks like the best player in the country, other times you forget she's even on the court. Brink was playing like a beast earlier in the season, but now she's kinda disappeared. But with their deep bench there are a handful of other players who can step up. You just never know what you're going to get from them. Oh yeah, and Jump is probably the most dangerous 3 point shooter in the Pac 12.

Nice assessment nwhoopfan. I'll be the first to agree that Stanford is deep in talent. I do find it a little funny when the comments about them being deep is after a game where they really only played 6 players significant minutes.

"I do find it a little funny when the comments about them being deep is after a game where they really only played 6 players significant minutes."
Great depth is not measured only by how many players see game time in a given game. It is also measured by how good the player is who comes off the bench when that player is needed.
I think of Stanford as having great depth because when Cameron Brink sits she is replaced by 6'5 Ashten Prechtel - one of the best 3-point shooting Bigs in the country; when Haley Jones sits she is replaced by Fran Belibi, one of the few WBB players who can dunk off the dribble in game-time and was one of the top H.S. player in the country; if Prechtel isn't called on Coach can put in Kiki Iriafren, one of the top Frosh talents in the Pac, and a top 3 H.S. player in California; when Anna Wilson needs a break she is replaced by Hannah Jump - probably the best 3-point shooting guard in the Pac....
Those 4 players (Belibi, Prechtel, Jump and Iriafen) coupled with a few regular scholarship players, would probably finish 4th in the Pac....
So, once again, depth is measured by the quality of the players sitting on the bench, not by whether they get floor time in a given game....
If you go thru this with any other team in the country, that is, evaluate the quality of the player who replaces a starter when that starter sits, I think you'll find no other program has the bench strength of Stanford.
At least that's how I look at it..... GO BEAVS!!

I do find it a little funny when the comments about them being deep is after a game where they really only played 6 players significant minutes. I would guess they still have some players out on covid protocol. They were missing 6 or 7 when they played at WSU last weekend. Tara really is not the kind of coach who goes with a short rotation.

Is this something like the tree falling in the forest. Is a team really deep if they don't use that depth?

Tara played 12 today against Gonzaga. Stanford kept building a big lead, then let GU get back within 10. Like I said, there must've been some players who were unavailable in the previous game. 6 players got most of the minutes, but 6 more played more than just at the very end.
edit--and no Demetre, who certainly is not the last player in the rotation, so she must still be unavailable

Ducks should have better luck against Arizona than did the Beavs. Paopoa and Rogers can both slash and attack so they will be tougher to defend.....Ducks by 8 or more... GO BEAVS!!!
