And if you're looking for criticism of sportsmanship, how about Stanford players NOT getting into post-game handshake line?  That did disappoint me.  You can celebrate at half-court (or celebrate again) after you go through the line.  No need to blow off the handshake line (and that's what looked like happened from the TV feed).

No, they didn't do a handshake line then either.

Pretty sure that's incorrect, M T, as I too wondered why there wasn't a handshake line between the players.

From the TV feed, you saw Tara and Vic initially connect.  Then Tara and staff continued walking and there were shots of several Texas players, in a line, high fiving/shaking hands with the Stanford staff.  These shots were alternated with shots of the Stanford players mobbing each other on the floor (I think one of the angles included a shot from the corner of the Texas bench).  Eventually, there were shots of Texas players dejectedly returning to the locker room, while Stanford was still celebrating on the floor.

Unless the Stanford players somehow sprinted over to the line and then back in between mobbing scenes, I'm pretty sure there wasn't much of a player to player handshake line.  I could check my recording but I don't need to be 100% correct. =)
