W Golf will be critical.  If we win, we will pull within three.  If UCLA wins, the lead goes back to five.  If not us, then hopefully Washington or *gasp* Duke.

What a perfect, cardiac close to this crazy, heart-pumping tournament.  I'm glad to have experienced it with you all.

I couldn't watch the video feeds today but following the updates here was plenty exciting.  Thanks for the ride, guys!

Wow, Texas fourth with only 52. Stanford has by far the most Individual National Championships, and therefore the most combined team and individual championships.

I thought Oklahoma State was fourth.

Oklahoma State is 4th with 51 NCAA team championships.

Texas doesn't actually have 52 national titles. They have 44. Someone has been monkeying around with the Wikipedia page and has given Texas 8 extra championships. Probably counting non-NCAA championships.


EDIT:  I see that Wikipedia now has been fixed.

Stunned. Not everything on wikipedia is accurate? Ironic that it was updated so quickly after I looked at it. Thanks for noting the correction. Amazing that the 4th place school has half as many championships as the 3rd place school.

Speaks to the insane strength of Stanford, USC, and UCLA in Olympic sports (and the PAC-12 in general). The conference has gone through a really long down period for national championships in football and basketball, but we've been dominating in just about everywhere else.

Re: Women's Tennis: NCAA Final vs. Oklahoma State - Canalejas - 05-24-2016

Also amazing that UCB isn't in the top 10 given schools ranked 1 through 3.

Re: Women's Tennis: NCAA Final vs. Oklahoma State - Treebound - 05-24-2016

All Right NOW! 
I agree with BigEasyCard, this is the Cardboard at it's best.  Just got back from a meeting and reading through this has made my day!    Let's go women's golf team!

Can't wait for the Stanford in Rio Medal Count to begin!

The incorrect Wikipedia entry regarding Texas lasted for just 27 minutes before it got fixed. You and I both happened to look at it during that time. It's not too surprising that edits to that page are being made quickly at this time of year. It's championship season in a lot of sports and a lot of people probably are checking that page.

And practically all of the championships of the fourth-place school are in a single sport (wrestling, I believe).

34 of the 51 in wrestling, per, uh, Wikipedia.  ;)

I canʻt thank you all enough.  My 1st year medical students decided to have their brunch today therefore I could not watch the match.  The Cardboard and a little bit of twitter made it possible for me to follow the match.  However, I could not enjoy my brunch at all because I was to anxious, nervous, and excited.  I seriously wanted to do my happy dance on the table when Stanford finally won the Championship.

What a gutsy performance.  The fight in these young ladies is unbelievable.  WOW!!!  So deserving.

I donʻt know if itʻs the espresso or the championship thatʻs keeping upbeat and excited.

Mahalo all!  ;D :D :)

For those not able to watch the clinching point, here it is in its entirety.  It is even better with sound.  You will understand why we were all holding our breaths watching it live.

I'm sure this will shock nobody, but while the C.apital One Cup standings take NCAA championship results into account for most sport scoring, they make an exception for tennis, where it's the final ITA rankings.  (They do this for some other sports, too. Until someone tells me otherwise, I'll assume it's a plot to ensure Stanford can't win.)

Thus, while we'll get max points for the Director's Cup out of this, it's by no means clear that we'll get the #1 spot in the ITA rankings.  (We might, though.  In the second-to-last ITA rankings in 2013, Stanford Women's Tennis was ranked 12th.  After winning the title, they vaulted all the way to 1st.  Plus, we've beaten the top 2 teams in the past month in C.al and Florida, so I'd say we've got a good argument.)

In single elimination bracketed tournaments with a clear winner, I can't imagine how ITA can be credible if it ranks any other team ahead of Stanford. In the pre-college football playoff world (and esp. the pre-BCS world), I could see having a split between perceived and actual national champions. Stanford won the trophy, and it's the only team left standing. How in the world does that not equate to number one?
