- The Hawkeyes made seven threes – 30.4% of their attempts.
- The Cardinal made eleven threes – 61.1% of their attempts.
- Ros made seven threes – 77.8% of her attempts.
Yes, Ros, our defensive specialist, led the Cardinal in a spectacular display of offense. Her seven threes are her career high, as is her total of 26 points. She also had five assists, a rebound, a block, and a steal.
She sparked the team to their best half of the season. They made 68.8% of their field goals and 75% of their 3-pointers. The Cardinal didn't miss a 3-point attempt until the 3:12 mark in the first half. By then, they were ahead 55-33. The final score was 96-67.
The Hawkeyes had no answer for Nneka and Jayne, who owned the paint. Nneka had 23 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and a block. Jayne had 16 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Jeanette had hot hands tonight too – 67.8% shooting and 100% beyond the arc – three of them. She also had seven assists and two steals.
In other action tonight, #5 Georgia defeated #4 Oklahoma State 74-71 in overtime. They will play the Cardinal in Sacramento on March 27.

ReplyDeletespectacular job of finding all this great
stuff and putting it all in one place for us!
Thank you for all that you do!
I agree with the first comment. Marian, you've done with your work as good a job as our great Stanford team has done. Thanks for all your hard work that adds to our fans' enjoyment of Stanford women's basketball.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Marian, you are the best!
ReplyDeleteBTW--there is a replay of the game available on ESPN360. It cuts out commercials (you only have to watch a 30 second spot that you cannot skip), but unfortunately does not include any of the stuff from the Studio. I was aching to hear what Kara, Trey and (especially) Carolyn had to say!
Ros and Marian--what a combination!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your superlative efforts and results.
