Was watching ESPN last night and saw the game schedule on the bottom line. It said WSU -7.5 and I believe it was 84% chance to win according to BPI.  I assumed BPI must know a lot more than I do about Stanford and WSU and figured Stanford had zero chance.

Then later I saw the final score and thought "I guess BPI isn't very accurate or something has switched in Stanford's team and they now are better than at the start of the season."

I mean, if they were to play Santa Clara now, would they win that game? And what has changed that they are now doing after the hiatus, that they weren't doing before it?

I'm still quite skeptical given the Hasse track record, but obviously progress finally appears afoot. The thing I simply couldn't believe is they won that game with Ingram going 1-6 FG, 4pts and just 4 boards in 30 minutes!
