And it was a little frustrating the year we were ranked #1 in the nation and proceeded to lose in the second round of the tourney.

That would be 2004, losing to Alabama in the second round, and Monty left soon after that game for the Warriors.

It was perhaps the most frustrating loss of the Monty era. Stanford led by 13 with 7 minutes left, attempted an amazing 30 more shots than Bama, had 22 offensive rebounds, outrebounded Bama by 20, but lost on the back of 44 FT attempts by Bama (they made 34, Stanford had 11 attempts).

Approximately the same thing happened in 2000. Stanford had been ranked #1 during the season, but was merely #3  at the time they lost to UNC in the second round.
