Another attempt to steal defeat from the jaws of victory falls short, mostly because the University of Seventh Choice is just not a good team.

Stanford was up by 13 with 9 mins left, and proceeded to make just one basket and two free throws after that.  Six of the last seven shots were missed three-pointers, often less than 15 seconds into the possession.  The only other possession was a 19-foot attempt by Brown with the shotclock at zero

The coaching was just awful.  Dawkins needs to get in the players' grills about working the clock when you have a lead, and getting the ball inside to create space for uncontested outside shots or cutters to the basket.  Instead they just passed it around the perimeter and jacked up a bunch of threes.

Bright spot was Rosco Allen who is really emerging as a quality player on both ends of the floor.  If he can learn to finish at the basket he can be a 15+ scorer.
