A closer look at the game stats shows that I should have awarded at least one more game ball — to Kaylee, who had ten rebounds and five blocks. The Cardinal wouldn't have won without her block, rebound and free throw in the last eleven seconds of the game.

The stats also reveal interesting information about the source of the scoring. Stanford shot 47.1% from the field to ASU's 31.6%, which should have yielded a huge win. But Stanford, in its attempts to shut down ASU's strong inside game, was called for 21 fouls, and ASU tallied 16 free throws.
