I share Garvin's frustrations about the game, but I also think it's only fair to note that after Dawkins called timeout with 3:18 to go, Stanford outscored UW 7-0 to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Randle's shot was the only three-point attempt for Stanford for the last 8 or 9 minutes. Even with the lead in the last few minutes, UW was still putting up three-point attempts.
Again, complementing Garvin's analysis: UW was 0-3 from the free throw line for the game (!), but 13-20 on three-point attempts. I'm trying to remember the last time I watched a men's basketball game in which one of the teams did not make a single free throw. Maybe in high school?

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
