The "problem" could not be with the 19 right?  7 of the 19 were made possible by a terrible call.  It seems as though the real "problem" was that Stanford only scored 45, only managed 17 in the first half, and almost played the entire first quarter without scoring at all.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. When I wrote 19, I was referring to the point differential. If my team was down by 12, and the opponent went up by 17 in the 4th quarter, I would have felt that my hopes had been dashed. I would have gone home feeling demoralized. That's not the mark of an accidental or narrow victory.
