Using a scout masterfully assembled by associate head coach Kate Paye, Stanford held Oregon to a season-low 57 points and 33.9 percent shooting from the floor. The Ducks, who average 87.3 points a game, had just 24 points at the half and Stanford built a 14-point lead in the 3rd quarter before a pair of scary moments blunted their momentum, and the Ducks clawed back into the game to take a lead.

I wonder who had the scout a month ago against Oregon? 

Kate doesn't always get the credit she deserves.  She is absolutely brilliant (JD/MBA from Stanford, really?) and quite obviously has learned enough from Tara to pinpoint opposition weaknesses.  Tempie is a chalk talk favorite because she is funny and good natured, while Kate struggles to be anything other than serious.  She's like a lawyer in there--oops, she IS a lawyer.  I'd rather talk to Tempie about any subject, any day.  But a serious and brilliiant basketball mind is what you need to win games.  I hope we can keep Kate for a long time to come.
