It's a W - which is most important.



But this team almost choked away a 17 point lead against a less-talented, less-deep team.  So the W doesn't feel quite as satisfying as it should (and in reality, is).

You say tomato; I say we easily beat a top-15 team (in the end, it was a three possession win) despite being down three players (1 a starter), culminating a four game stretch in which we beat 3 top-15 teams, and still have not been "home" in ages.  I mean the closest they came in the fourth quarter was 5 points and ESPN's win probability meter didn't get below a 95% chance of winning for Stanford (I think 95.3% was the trough).  The whole point of building a 17 point lead is that you can have a run of playing like crap and still win by 7.
