The book on how to win at Stanford has been written but our coach hasn\'t read it - or, more likely, thought he knew a better plotline.   Where\'s the mental toughness, discipline in shot selection, hard-nosed defense, controlled guard play and enforcing big men, Coach Dawkins?    

How about just making a few well timed free throws?

As I watched two sorely needed free throws miss badly in the waning minutes of tonight\'s game I thought of Chris Hernandez beating an NCAA bound Washington in 2006.   Needing to make three from the charity stripe with time all but expired to send a game into overtime, Chris calmly sank all three - and the whole crowd was confident he would do it.  A shattered but sweet 16 bound Husky squad went on to lose the game in OT by 9 points.

Ancient history - and a wholly different team - despite the shared uniform.  Time to check the ego, hit the library and read Montgomery\'s book.
