The book on how to win at Stanford has been written but our coach hasn\'t read it - or, more likely, thought he knew a better plotline. Â Where\'s the mental toughness, discipline in shot selection, hard-nosed defense, controlled guard play and enforcing big men, Coach Dawkins? Â Â
How about just making a few well timed free throws?
As I watched two sorely needed free throws miss badly in the waning minutes of tonight\'s game I thought of Chris Hernandez beating an NCAA bound Washington in 2006. Â Needing to make three from the charity stripe with time all but expired to send a game into overtime, Chris calmly sank all three - and the whole crowd was confident he would do it. Â A shattered but sweet 16 bound Husky squad went on to lose the game in OT by 9 points.
Ancient history - and a wholly different team - despite the shared uniform. Â Time to check the ego, hit the library and read Montgomery\'s book.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
