Are there any players with serious athletic ability on Stanford's squad? Didn't look like it. Having Keefe out there makes it a 4 on 5 game on O. We have no athletic point guard; no rim protector; only Spencer Jones might make UA's team. No one in double figures? Are you kidding me? Haase, who seems like a good person, is not a good coach. Yet he'll probably get a contract extension from Muir. I used to be an ardent Stanford men's basketball fan and went to as many games as I could. Now, given the mediocre product on the floor, I've lost almost all interest.
Look on the bright side, you weren't allowed to go to the home games for January, anyway . . .
The major sports programs at Stanford are a mess. Contrary to most in this thread, I have more faith in Haase than I do in Shaw; however, I have little faith in Haase right now.
AZ is a far superior team filled with International mercenaries (though I guess all athletes at all schools can be put in that bucket). I'm not sure I quite buy them as a legit FF team, but they are a LOT better than Stanford and most of the teams in the conference. This L was expected, though method of beat-down was not. It could not have helped that Maples was a cavernous morgue, though that certainly wasn't game-result changing.
