"A short-handed Stanford women's basketball team couldn't take advantage of an opportunity to improve its NCAA Tournament resume Thursday, falling 84-66 to No. 7 Louisville at Maples Pavilion. Stanford (15-7, 4-5 ACC) committed 10 turnovers in the second quarter as the Cardinals took an 18-point halftime lead in their first-ever trip to The Farm and maintained a double-digit lead throughout the second half."
"The Cardinal offense struggled to get in sync in their absence, with 22 turnovers to six assists as Louisville (20-3, 10-0) extended its 13-game winning streak. Sophomore guard Shau Ijiwoye posted a career-high 15 points on 6 of 8 shooting and was one of four Cardinals in double figures. Stanford, currently ranked No. 36 in the NET, had appeared in 36 straight NCAA tournaments before missing out last year following the retirement of Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer."

The Cardinal lineup was missing junior forward Nunu Agara, the team's leading scorer and second-leading rebounder, and senior guard Talana Lopolo, the assists leader. Louisville extended a 13-game winning streak as four Cardinals scored in double figures and sophomore guard Shau Ijiwoye posted a career-high 15 points. Stanford is No. 36 in the NET and had 36 straight NCAA tournament appearances before missing last year. With nine regular-season games remaining, the team missed a likely last chance for a marquee win.
