Since Oregon's massacre at Maples, Stanford has played nine games, all wins -- four of them over NCAA tournament-bound teams. The one opponent to shoot 40% from the field was visiting Arizona, and the Wildcats almost won because Stanford shot .368 (its second cold game in a row: .371 in the win @ USC). The offense seems have regained functionality.

But at season's end, the winning edge is defense.  And with Dodson's return to game-readiness, and Coffee's blossoming confidence, the Cardinal have two bigs capable of slowing down opposing bigs.
