Oregon at Stanford, 5 January 2012

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 23 shots to his Flickr gallery including shots of Taylor and Bonnie launching threes, Toni distributing the ball, Nneka at work, plus this one of Chiney and Jos working on a rebound:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin, whose email got to us at 11:52, just 8 minutes after Scott's—people working late to get these pictures to you, readers!— posted 32 pics to her Smugmug gallery, with a splendid array of team interaction and floor action. One of the first is this, about which a tale follows:

In the first half I was thinking, "rebound shots" and trying to catch rebounds at the south end, but after a bit I put my camera in my lap and just watched the game, at which point Nneka leaps up to make the spectacular rebound shown above. "I coulda had that picture!" I screamed to my wife. And my next thought was, "Hope Baranduin got it..." Hey, no fear.

Michael Li

No fear, indeed! Michael Li was there, too, and here's the first shot in his Flickr set:

It's the same instant to nearly the millisecond! Isn't that neat?
