BOULDER, Colo. – Even 40-foot desperation shots take practice.
“We practice that play a million times in practice, but I would say there was a little pressure,” junior Kiani Williams said after her buzzer beater allowed No. 8 Stanford to rally past Colorado 69-66 on Sunday.
Williams made a score-tying three-pointer with 12 seconds left, then stole the ball from Mya Hollingshed and sank a 40-footer to win the game and keep Stanford (23-3 overall, 12-2 Pac-12) one game behind Oregon in the Pac-12 women’s standings.
“Just another shot for me, but thank God it went in,” Williams said.
