Yes, let's stick with "we are the champions!" It was an exciting game and I agree with Knights comments that Stanford did a great job of responding to ODU runs. Earlier this season (and for the past 5+ seasons), a Stanford team would have wilted if it lost a 10+ point lead. But they kept fighting, scrapping for points, and hitting clutch shots when needed.
I thought the foul called to send Randle to the line was a bit bogus. I abhor a ref calling a foul when a player is so obviously just trying to draw the foul rather than take a clean shot and the contact is so minor. Still, he made the most of his opportunities and it was probably karmic for some of the missed calls when Stanford big game were getting clobbered.
Five wins in a row to end the season is also their longest win streak of the season. It's always great to end the season with a win. It will be interesting to see how the team does next year without Randle, Brown and Nastic. Hopefully the young guys can step up.
