Disappointing loss, but a final four is nothing to sneeze at.

Lost to a very good and well coached Stanford team. Our ladies struggled on the boards against their length. Final four run is still something to be proud of. Get them next year.

Stanford was the best rebounding team we have played against all year, IMHO. While SC eventually outrebounded them 40-36, Stanford got a lot of second opportunities, which normally SC doesn't grant. In fact, the winning bucket made by Stanford was off of a second chance rebound...one that SC had the opportunity to control and just didn't secure. We hold that rebound it might have been a different outcome. And then we turn Stanford over and have 2 point-blank attempts for the winning shot. Beal's was highly contested while moving, so give Stanford credit. Boston just missed her chance off of the back iron -- a shot she would normally make. Watching her emotions afterwards was just heart breaking.
Honestly, I think Stanford was the better team, but SC fought so hard and never gave up. I was so proud of the team last night. I think this team overachieved, especially once Lele went out. Major props to Coach Staley and the team for their efforts this year.
[personal sidenote: I would hope the girls will practice using the backboard for their bunnies over the summer. The window is painted for a reason, and I think it would help eliminate some of those misses we saw this year]
Most other teams would have folded and given up the last few seconds, but we didn't.
Tough loss, but the girls showed a lot of courage and fire when it counted. The shots just didn't fall.
We'll still gonna hang another Final Four banner, though, and that still matters A LOT.

Stanford defeats Arizona 54-53 to win the Natty.
Very similar to our game. Flagrantly missed call off the foot of a Stanford player and then a missed shot by Arizona that gave Stanford the win.
Kinda makes you wonder about the refs the last two games.
