Here are six key reasons why this happened:
1. too many personal fouls by our two key bigs, leading them to play only 45 minutes combined
2. insufficient speed and quickness by our guards on D
3. poor shooting by our point guard and non-starters (3 for 21)
4. too many turnovers (14 for SU to 7 for NCS)
5. too few foul shots (7 for SU [all by Kiki] and 19 by NCS), because of few drives to the hoop by Stanford perimeter players, combined with...
6. dismal three-point shooting (5 for 25 for SU [20%] compared with 7 for 17 for NCS [41%])
Underscores the big drop-off from Cam & Kiki to our guards; so many talented guards playing in another uniform that could have alleviated some of the pressure off of them.
