Crap, Teejers and I completely agree, the end of days is neigh. I really wonder how far that 1998 team would have gone had Folkl and Nygaard not suffered ACL tears right before the tournament.

One other thing about Folkl (We were in the same dorm my senior year) is that she was the most genuinely humble and down to earth person I met at Stanford (athlete or not).

I see from her wiki that she gave birth to a son in 2006... Thinking about recruiting in 2024, I wonder if he's into basketball or volleyball.

I think she should be on the list. Even though she split her time with volleyball, her stats were exceptional (if she doesn’t foul out on a contested call in the 1997 NCAA Final 4 game against Old Dominion I think Stanford wins the game and ultimately beats Tennessee in the final as she was 8 for 8 from the field with about 10 rebounds). I was at that game but that is a topic for another time. I did sit next to her and her future husband Anastasios Kaburakis at a 2004 game in Columbia, MO. Had a very interesting conversation and I can confirm her humility and intelligence. Does anyone know whether her 12 year old daughter plays basketball? I believe that Kristen and her husband had some influence with the Greek player Elana Bosgana coming to Stanford.

You are too diplomatic.  That was a horse$hit call fouling out Folkl in the ODU game (and I have a recollection of there being 2 really bad calls against Folkl in that game, perhaps because refs couldn't believe she could get up and contest shots as readily as she did).  And yes, Folkl and Nygaard would have led that 1998 team to glory!

Teejeers, you are correct the 4th and 5th fouls were both on blocked shots and if my memory serves me correctly the announcers were in agreement as to the egregious nature of the calls. The game was extremely rough and there were also many non calls. While the calls were really bad Stanford had way too many turnovers (29) and were fortunate to be in the game. Also Jamilla was fouled on the last shot (also replay and announcer agreement).
