I was there. Stanford was actually competitive for the whole first half, and on the last possession had Koren Johnson backed into a blind alley. Then he hit that heavily contested 3 and you could feel the vibes swing. When the team went toward the locker room they looked dispirited. The combo attack that ensued to start the second half was predictable.
Having gone back and seen the highlights of the USC game last Saturday, setting the school record for made 3's was great, but that game had the feel of an NBA All-Star Game. USC had just lost a hard-fought OT game with an elevated atmosphere at Cal and it was just for several minutes that they were able to stay in our game before rolling over.
WSU tomorrow is going to be fun. The Cougs rocked Cal last night, have their first NCAA tourney berth in 16 years within reach and it's difficult to envision them #$%^*&! this game up. Then again, if there are late-season games Stanford has gotten up for, this is the kind that fits that profile so it could well be close down the stretch.
