The biggest upset of the season to date belongs to USC. The Trojans shocked Final Four favorite and No. 2-ranked Stanford, 55-46, on Sunday at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. It was one of four games in which an unranked team took down a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.
Stanford and No. 1 South Carolina , the other team to have taken down the Cardinal, started off the season as clear-cut favorites to return to the Final Four. The other two spots were the ones largely debated. Now Stanford looks more vulnerable to making it back.
They were behind from the start, heading into the second quarter trailing 11-4, and were 29.2% from the field, including making 1 of 9 3-point attempts. By game’s end, they made 17 baskets on 55 attempts, both season lows, and four 3-pointers, tied with the Cal game for fewest. The Cyclones came into the conference schedule as favorites and had semi-rebuilt themselves around Soares to take the next step from an NCAA Sweet 16 berth. The loss of Soares showed against Texas , a defensive-minded team, which had one less threat to worry about after Ashley Joens. Joens scored 21 and was the only Cyclone in double digits.Women’s and girls sports are so, so young.
