THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

The intensity of the second half is not something you usually see in November college basketball, but both teams really played their hearts out. We still don't know how good any of these teams are, but this is a lifetime memory for everyone in a Stanford uniform today.

Shout-out to Jeremy Dent-Smith for being the microwave (instant heat).

Here’s the winning shot…

ESPN gave St. Louis a 91% chance of winning with a 11 seconds left, which is less than I expected.  Not sure what it was with 4 seconds down 2 with a single free throw to go.

Holy shit.  I yelled so loud that I had to apologize to my visiting family.

I'm not sure I can ever recall an intentionally missed FT working before (I'm sure they have, just not while I was watching).

This ending is up there with Da Silva's layup against UCLA during COVID and Lottich's 3 against Wazzu.

Don't forget Nick Robinson's hail mary at home against Arizona, with Tiger courtside!

Excited to watch the replay of this. All Right Now!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  Okorie got fouled as he shot a 3 pointer trying to tie the game.  The refs, to the surprise of the TV commentators, me, and, I assume everyone watching other than Billiken fans, said the foul came before the shot.  So instead of shooting 3 FTs to tie it, and likely send it into OT, he's shooting 1-and-1.  Okorie makes the first, then after a TO, he misses the second purposely and with precision.  He softly hits the rim to give Giltay @ Rohosy a chance at the rebound.  The 2 big men crossed the lane, giving them great position - that was brilliant by Smith & staff.  Rohosy got the rebound, got it to Benny in the corner, and Benny did his thing.

We are lucky that the refs didn't call a technical foul on Stanford afterGealer hit that shot because 3 Stanford fans ran onto the court to celebrate with time left on the clock.  One of them tried to hug Bealer while SLU was inbounding the ball.

Great point.  I noticed the same thing while watching the replay.  Then I saw that while some others seemed to be in a celebratory mood already, Okorie had retreated from the foul line and was getting into a good position to defend the inbounds pass.  This guy is mature beyond his years and always focused on the next play.

+ Casey Jakes sweet jumper off the glass with 3 seconds left to beat Duke in the Newell Classic - I think in ~2000???

Otherwise - yeah - replay time!

Embarrassed that I forgot about Jacobsen (in my defense I didn't see that game -- I remember constantly refreshing whatever website had scores back then for updates).

Forgot about Daejon Davis' shot, too.  That was incredible.

I did not forget about Robinson.  That one is in a class of its own.

Dang... I told Hulu Live TV to record Stanford MBB games, but it didn't know about this one, so there's no recording available for me to watch. :-(

Looking for some video, I found this long segment of the TNT gamebreak guys admiring the play and discussing the game.

According to every ranking system there is, this will be the most challenging game of the young season for Stanford.  Saint Louis is favored by 2-1/2 points.

Some of you may have watched the Billikens (?!?) in their 1-pt win over Santa Clara (sorry, Mick) and know more about them that I do. The main thing that I have been able to find out is that they seem to be led by #21 Robbie Avila (6'10 240 Sr C) who is their co-leader in scoring with 12.8 ppg.  they have very balanced scoring with 7 players at 8.5 ppg or higher.  Avila also leads the team in assists with 3.0/game and shoots 54% from the field and 56% from 3.

Yep, bummer, SCU had the lead at the half, couldn't hold on. You're not going to win a lot of games shooting 24% from 3 pt. range. At least they're ahead of Minnesota by 28 (66-38) at 13:18 in the 2nd half.  Hope springs eternal.

Watching Stanford come back from 11 down at the half was just extraordinary. Benny Gealer, outstanding. Dent-Smith, 12 points in 21 minutes off the bench, great (could do without the four turnovers, though). Giltay, seven boards in 14 minutes off the bench. St. Louis has an excellent defense, and Stanford broke through. Great game!


RE: MBB: Stanford vs. Saint Louis 4PM, CBS Sports Network - old spanish trail - 11-28-2025

Just great!!. I recorded in order to join visiting family for leftovers....and it quit with 3 minutes(?). We had just gone ahead for first time since early game. So, while I missed BG's big shot, I didn't miss Okorie's big first half, and Dent Smith and Okora's big second half. I also didn't miss Giltay. He can PLAY. Also, the Clarmon-Mudd guy may not be able to shoot beyond 10 ft, but he is smart and clever.


RE: MBB: Stanford vs. Saint Louis 4PM, CBS Sports Network - ADPinWDC - 11-28-2025

Gealer's game winning bomb came down wet from the rafters?  
Never a doubt...

I like Troy Clardy's call - "Bennie and the Nets!!!"

Thank you. Incredible coverage of an unbelievable finish.


RE: MBB: Stanford vs. Saint Louis 4PM, CBS Sports Network - fullmetal - 11-28-2025

Gealer nailed that shot on the fly...very Nick Robinson-esque.  Amazing shot.

Two of the Stanford fan would-be interlopers pulled their compatriot back from the court as the SLU inbound pass was in the air :)  What a moment to remember!
