“Until people knock off Stanford they’re still at the top and we’re all chasing them,” Utah women's basketball coach Lynne Roberts said after the Utes lost to the Cardinal in a Pac-12 game Friday night.
Utes shoot 5 of 26 on 3-pointers and finish with a scoring total 24 points below their season average.
Indya Nivar, another reliable freshman, took over running the offense and the Cardinal’s veteran post players did the rest. Hannah Jump made her first five shots and scored 13 points. Nivar had four points and three assists in 27 minutes. “I think our team had something to prove to ourselves and what better opportunity than against a team like Utah,” VanDerveer said. “We have a lot of teams in the Pac-12 that are tournament teams and they’re a tournament team.”
The Utes have never beaten a top-five opponent and had been scoring 86.8 points per game — among the best in the nation — but managed just 10 in the second quarter and 12 over the final 10 minutes.
