Jay Bilas sent a lot of love to Michael O'Connell on the broadcast. Deservedly so.

The turnover thing is important, as turnovers are one of the main weaknesses of this team (along with 3-pt shooting, and to a lesser extent 3-pt shooting defense).

Stanford is still last in the conference in TOs per game, but it seems to be getting better.

Stanford
TO seaspm avg = 15.3
TO first 8 gms  = 16.4
TO last 7 gms   = 14.1
TO last 5 gms   = 13.0

Kisunas really deserves the recognition he is getting.  In two very important games, he doesn't foul, he plys very tough defense against two good big men and simply does not get pushed around.  His play has also probably made life easier for Da Silva to play his game instead of having to focus a great amount of energy taking the other teams big man.
 
Also props to Coach Haase and his staff for finding Kisunas, Jones and O'Connell, all three star recruits signed late in the cycle.
