26-3 at the under 12 TO.  We scored the first 19 points of the game.   Cal Poly has a zillion turnovers, and we're shooting well.

Where was this team the last two games?

They were playing slightly better competition than Cal Poly….

We are angry with a capital F tonight.

If you saw how they played against SDSU you'd be angry too :P

They didn’t play that poorly vs SDSU.  They shot poorly.  There’s a difference.

Last time I checked, shooting is a big part of playing. On top of that they had 17 turnovers with 10 assists, were <70% on free throws, and SDSU shot 51% FG.

I repeat my previous statement.

Who are these guys? And what have they done with our team?

Quality of opponent makes a big difference

Shooting is, of course, part of “playing”. Having said that, it’s also one of the least controllable things especially from the coaches perspective.  

San Diego State had significantly more talent – especially related to quickness. Stanford played hard, they outrebound them, and they essentially stayed in a game when they shot 37% from the field, missing a lot of good looks.

I don’t know if it was a bad night or if it’s simply a bad shooting team. If it’s the latter, it’ll be a long year. They simply don’t have enough athleticism to make up for that.
