Great overall effort by the women, they can walk off the floor with their heads held high, they gave Stanford everything they wanted for 45 minutes.
Not a fan of the last shot by ISU, we had the ball with 18 seconds left down by 2, that is when you either have Ryan or Brown shoot the last shot, a 3 pointer to win the game or lose it right there. But Bill knows a lot more about BB than I could ever learn, and it was his call.
The refs left a lot to be desired, since when you can have your hands over the player when she is going up for a shot and not call that a foul. The Stanford players were getting away with it the entire game, just bringing their arms down and swatting at the ball. What ever happened to the idea that the defender has to stay vertical? I really did not enjoy the big girl from Stanford dropping the F bomb on our bench or why she was talking to the official after she had fouled out towards the end and was on the bench. The ref should have T ed her up.
