i loved watching the highlights - Val Whiting deserves more mention when discussing the best Cardinal bigs!  I remembered how great she looked running the floor and finishing near the rim but I’d forgotten she was also good from mid-range. 

Plus it’s always good to see Tennessee lose - in overtime that year.

Thanks for sharing.

What I really noticed was how full Maples was, how loud, and how many students and young people were there.  Why didn't that continue?

Those students/young people are us now!

  Anyone know of one for 1990?

There’s this:
Episode of the PBS series Frontline is a portrait of the Stanford University women's basketball team, coached by Tara VanDerveer, during their 1989-1990 season which culminated in their winning the NCAA National Championship.

UC, this was fantastic. A wonderful trip down memory lane with some interesting behind-the-scenes insight as well. I don't remember the reason I was at Stanford in March, 1990 since I live in LA, but I was at the regional final vs. Arkansas. One of the most fun games I attended at Maples ever. I still have the ticket stub.

Amazingly, 4 of the starters on that team are now in the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame - Azzi, Steding, Whiting and Stevens. 

We also got to see a guest appearance by Marianne Stanley, Stanford's future co-head coach when Tara was away with the 1996 Olympic team (which would include both Azzi and Steding).
