8) Most astonishing stat of the game was assists for Morgan State.  They had 0 until almost then end, then got 1.  That is the measure of our defense.

That pales, though, compared to the time Tennessee had only 1 assist (IIRC) in losing to us in one of the last games Pat Summit coached here.

The GoStanford.com archives don't give the coaches' names, so I had to check Wikipedia.  Summitt retired in 2012.
At Stanford in 2011 (Stanford 97-80), Tennessee had 11 assists.  (Pat Summit's last season)
At Stanford in 2009 (Stanford 67-52), Tennessee had 4 assists.
At Stanford in 2007 (Stanford 73-62 OT), Tennessee had 13 assists.
GoStanford.com doesn't provide any game box scores older than that. (Boo!)

As 82lsju's signature reminds us, "the older we get the better we were".

thanks for the reality check!! I should have taken the time to do the research myself, but my memory was so "clear"!
Still, the point remains: holding Tennessee to 4 assists back then is a much more impressive effort than holding Morgan State to 1. Summit thought that was an all-time low for Tennessee. For perspective, we had 14 assists in that game. We were nationally ranked #2 going into the game, they were #3. It was a BIG game nationally. (sorry to the other thread)
