The Stanford Cardinal looked like their season may end in disappointing fashion through 24 minutes against Louisville on Tuesday in the 2021 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, but a terrific 2nd half rally turned their game and season around, as Stanford won 78-63 in the Elite Eight round.
Stanford had one of their worst halves of the season to start the game, trailing by 12 points at halftime, but they kept their heads and regrouped, and now they’ve reached the minimum expectation for their season in reaching the Final Four.
After Louisville took a 2-0 lead, Cameron Brink ran a give-and-go that led to a feed over the top, the freshman hitting the layup to tie the game, before Kiana Williams hit a long two the next possession to give them a 4-2 lead.
