We put ourselves in a position to lose with an embarrassingly idiotic sequence of events that began with just under four minutes to go and Stanford ahead 64-63. Brown, wide open on a breakaway, hot-dogged a dunk and missed it. Washington hit a transition three. We took the ball back down and Stepfan Nastic, instead of heading into the paint where he looked like Gulliver striding through a Lilliputian front line of Huskies, shot it from the free-throw line and missed. Another Washington transition three and our 64-63 lead has turned into a 69-65 deficit. We didn't lead again until Randle's final basket rippled through the net.

Garvin, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the effort to make up for years of people spelling Stepfan Taylor's name wrong by converting all other forms of Stefan (or Stephen or Stephan) to Stepfan.  Taylor is deserving.

I thought Travis and M. Allen both had very good games (I mostly only saw the second half), which made me happy for the future.  At least in that I can expect us to continue our current trend of being a solid NIT team every year.
