Nneka scored an incredible 38 points and had 16 rebounds in Stanford's 73-66 victory over Oklahoma in the Semifinal game. The 38 points are the second-most ever scored in a Final Four game, exceeded only by Sheryl Swoopes' 47 in the 1993 championship game.
Nneka would be the first to tell you that she couldn't have done it without her teammates. For this demanding game, the five starters were assisted only by JJ and Joslyn. The contributions of all seven players are fully covered in these game reports:
