I was one of the 50 fans in attendance. My understanding is that Powell is a bit dinged up but that he's been playing at a pretty high level. I've heard that before, so I'll believe it when I see it.

I was completely unimpressed with Stanford's play, but I've pretty much felt that way since Dawkins took over. It seems like there is such little movement on offense and there are even fewer designed plays. Stanford's shooting was off the mark all afternoon. Inside, outside, wherever, shots were not falling. This could be expected as it's their first competition in awhile, but I came out of Maples with a bad feeling. While I think it's great that Madsen has joined that staff and that he can bring some real motivation to the team, there is a lack of size. We have a bunch of 6' 9" 6' 10" guys on the team, but nobody seems to be comfortable under the rim.

2 quick thoughts: Chason Randle is a superb playmaker and needs to touch the ball every possession. It was great to see Andy Brown and his 5 ACLs get some extended playing time.

Anyway, this team will obviously improve, but after watching Dawkins "develop" talent the last few seasons, I'm not expecting much.
