I have to admit that I half-forgot this game was happening and spent most of it in the library reading Bliss Broyard's memoir One Drop (not the most compellingly-written book for stretches, but interesting in its content).  I stopped by Tressider in time to catch the last four minutes.  Envirogal tells me that she doesn't think the Jayne Appel injury was really what caused the score turnaround, that once Moore started scoring it seemed inevitable, but I'm also seeing reports from elsewhere that say that Stanford could have taken advantage of an uncharacteristically awful game from UConn if they'd only played better themselves.  I was impressed with those last four minutes even as I was annoyed that Stanford kept fouling and tried to eke out every point.  Holding UConn under sixty points, and to a historic low of twelve in the first half, is an accomplishment in itself.  In the end it's also good for women's basketball that this game wasn't a blowout, even if it was, by all accounts, incredibly ugly.
