The most entertaining thing about this game is Bill Walton, who has spent large portions of the half cracking on Stanford's offense. "When these guys apply for work at Google," he proclaimed near halftime, "and talk to Larry and Sergei, this isn't the tape they'll show."
Which, duh, yeah. Stanford came out of the gates strong but weren't able to build a durable lead -- opening up 4-0; but it should've been, in more competent hands, 8-0 or 10-0 or something. The offense looks turgid and spacing stinks. Dwight Powell is playing pretty well; Huestis is giving good effort on the defensive end...and that's about it.
(UCLA also doesn't exactly look spectacular, but, well, I don't care about them.)
