Game got sloppy and overmatched UW played hard.  To me this game is one to just not even think about too hard.  Third game in 5 days, easy blowout, and I'm sure the team had half a mind on finally getting to go home.  The announcer said that the team was struggling to practice, often using high school gyms with only two baskets so they could not get shots up as normal, could not practice as normal, which probably explains some of the continued sloppiness we have seen.  I hope getting back home helps them overcome all that.  They are behind where they want to be I'm sure.  Jones is ok, that's the biggest takeaway.

I agree with all this.  Playing the devil's advocate; much of the time Stanford was up against what you might describe as a non-scholarship Division II team.   I would expect domination from start to finish of the game and that didn't really happen. 

I'm willing to give the team a two week grace period back on the farm and then will expect more consistent play.
