Every call seems against Stanford. Ok they can travel
Quite a game however.
Quite a game however.
MBB : vs. Wake Forest, Wednesday @ 8:00, ESPNU
Wake has four players playing 30+ min, two players with 20+ min and one player with 11 min. Shallow but talented group. Stanford has played a lot of guys. Stanford down six with 35 sec to go. KZSU announcer not understanding why Stanford hasn't attacked the WF players in danger of fouling out. Agarwal has fouled out.
Stinson steals the ball for Stanford but throws the ball to nobody in the corner instead of driving the lane. Turnover to WF, and the small glimmer of hope is probably dead.
So far, WF has taken 33 FT attempts, and Stanford has had 21 FT attempts. Refs have been an important part of this game /eyeroll. (as has "three point shot off the back iron")
WF wins, 79-73.

Games like this make me even angrier with Stojakovic for leaving. This game was eminently winnable but with Blakes and Gealer being out, our already shallow depth was made a virtual puddle. We could have certainly used another proven scorer.
Really like Raynaud but it looks like he will end his Stanford career without a NCAA tournament appearance unless Blakes comes back and ignites us to a hot-end of the season

This one's a heartbreaker, but as a fan I'm very proud of the team for putting forth a great effort, including KS with the gameplan. Raynaud had a stellar passing night and clearly is a great leader along with being a great player. I also enjoyed seeing guys like Thompson and Batson show what they can do; as fans, we have wondered just how bare the cupboard will be next year, but after tonight I am excited to see what those two guys in particular can do next year and even down the stretch this season.

I didn't like that Raynaud was bringing up the ball tonight. I think the WF coach was doing backflips at not having Max in the paint and settling for early 3 pointers, which he missed often.
Thompson surprised me today on the good side. Young hasn't been the same since he got injured and missed a game. I love Batson's quickness. He blew past defenders easily. He needs to learn how to finish in the lane after beating his man. We missed too many 3 pointers. #6 drove for them to the paint at will in the first half and drew some 7 fouls in the first half.
A lot of people played today. The most glaring error from the bench was Stinson's errant turnover with less than a minute after getting the steal. We know Okpara is a vacuum... Throw him the ball and good luck getting it back. He will shoot it no matter how covered he is. At least today we saw efficient Okpara.
We need to practice Raynaud passing the ball when he gets double-teamed as it seems to be the formula teams are employing to slow him down. Still too many turnovers for us and allowing too many offensive rebounds. The hairless ref seemed to be calling 75%+ of the fouls on Stanford. Coach Smith really protested around 3 whistles.
I like the direction coach Smith is taking the team.
