Alright so this is way before my time (and before probably 90% of people here started following WCBB), but I was looking at Stanford's old stats and the numbers this team assembled were pretty astounding, especially considering that the three point line was still very new and I believe shot clocks were longer back then.
-The team averaged 92.8 ppg, shot 50.1% from the floor, 42.1% from 3, and 76.4% from the line.
-The team averaged 22.9 assists per game and had a team A/TO ratio of 1.6
-They averaged over 10 steals per game
-Average margin of victory was 26.6 ppg
-The team went 32-1, with 29 of their victories by double digits. Only loss was by 3 points on the road to #7 Washington, and the close wins were a 7 point win over Boston College, a 9 point win in the Final Four over Dawn Staley and Virginia, and a 7 point win over Auburn in the title game.
-Best players were Jennifer Azzi, Trisha Stevens, Katy Steding, Julie Zeilstra, Val Whiting and Sonja Henning. Azzi and Steding were Olympians in 96, Whiting and Henning both played in the WNBA 7+ years later, and I'm not sure what happened to Trish Stevens who was the leading scorer.
At any rate, I haven't seen them play so I have no idea what the product on the court looked like, but I was extremely impressed looking at their stats and rarely ever see them mentioned among the best teams ever so thought I'd give them a shout out.
