We thought that Senior Day was sort of premature--that we would have a couple of rounds of the NCAAs to cheer on our seniors one more time.  We won't.  Our seniors--except for redshirts--have played their last game for Stanford.

So long, Nadia Fingall.  It has been such a pleasure watching your steady leadership in the post develop over the years, seeing that three point shot blossom late, watching you fight back from a devastating injury to give yourself body and soul to your team this year.  We shall miss you.

So long, Mikaela Brewer.  Your personal story has been an inspiration to many fans and many students.  You have overcome more than any other player I know to be able to play this year.  Sharing your story with the world took enormous courage.  There was nothing more joyous than seeing you on the floor with a smile.

Anna Wilson, Dijonai Carrington, I don't know if we need to say good bye or not.  Now that the season is over, perhaps you and the coaches can let us know :)  We'd love to see both of you around for another season!

Good points, thanks.

P.S.  How bent do you think Ionescu (and her fellow final-season players) are after the NCAA's decision?  That one has gotta hurt.
On the bright side, Ionescu's return for this season did allow her to win a P12 Tourney title, something that eluded her (and her teammates) last year . . .

All good points, yes, re our players. All have been wonderful representatives of Stanford in each of their own ways, young women of whom we all can be very proud. They will be missed.

And I"m very sorry that we won't have another chance to see them on the court in Stanford uniforms. That is a real loss to their fans, and very sad for all of them. And to come so suddenly . . . they must be feeling a real sense of loss.

But it's not just for them. The loss is for all the seniors on all the basketball teams everywhere in the country . . . and all the other sports, who have had their college careers suddenly cut short. It must be especially difficult and painful to accept for those athletes and teams that thought they had a shot at a championship. But also for those who just wanted to compete in their sport to the end of their time in college. I really feel sorry for all of them.
