Another smack-down loss, this one to UDub, not exactly a powerhouse. As I posted over a month ago, it’s yet another .500 season, early elim from the PAC-12 tournament and no Dance. I don’t know why I should care about Stanford men’s basketball under Hasse and Muir anymore.

I care because I really like some of the players a lot and because of a stubborn remembrance of what Stanford basketball has been.
But further to your comment, for many years it seems like for every brilliant win, there's soon a stinky loss that quickly tarnishes any hope of playing into the postseason.

Undoubtedly true! It's hard to figure out what explains this maddening pattern.
