Was at the game too. First time seeing the boys live in about 10 years (the last live game may have been the Stanford vs. Duke at the Pete Newell challenge). Had a blast (how can you not when your team comes from behind to beat a team they're well matched against?) The defense was definitely spotty and the offense got into a bad rut for the first 10 minutes of the second half, but I love that we came from down 11 to win it. The guys showed a lot of heart staying in it.
Aaron Bright was a revelation tonight with obviously lights out shooting, but also some nice dishes in the first half. He makes a pretty good backcourt duo with Randle.
I still can't believe we don't have a true big man. It's so strange to watch a Stanford team playing without a 6'10"+ guy with broad shoulders.
And yes, the crowd was small, but the atmosphere was still fun and there was energy in the crowd.
Oh, and who should I bump into as I entered but the illustrious Brevin Knight decked out in a white Stanford shirt. Perhaps his presence inspired Bright's play. Anyone know what BK's up to these days?
Now I need to figure out how to get off work early on Wednesday...
