Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3325992, member: 6927"] I remember watching that 1990 team in the NCAA tournament, and I think they should be considered one of the best teams of all time that didn't go undefeated. What's odd is that I remember Jennifer Azzi as being the star of the team, but in looking at the stats I see she was a close 3rd in scoring behind Stevens and Steding. I also remember the very steady hand of point guard Sonja Henning and the key role of post player Val Whiting off the bench. Looked up their stats here: [URL='https://gostanford.com/news/2019/4/12/womens-basketball-historical-stats.aspx']Historical Stats - Stanford University Athletics[/URL] Stevens 17.6 ppg, 55% FG Steding 15.1 ppg, 47% FG, 46% 3FG Azzi 14.7 ppg, 6.0 apg, 50% FG, 44% 3FG Zeilstra 13.8 ppg, 54% FG Henning 8.8 ppg, 6.7 apg, 45% FG Whiting 12.4 ppg, 55% FG I also think this Stanford team was innovative as the first team to really make use of the 3-point line, which was in only its third season. Mostly through Steding and Azzi, Stanford averaged more than 5 made 3-point baskets per game — a small number by today's standards, but it seemed like a lot back then, considering that just a few years earlier teams rarely took shots from more than 15 feet (just go back and watch the 1986 Texas or 1987 Tennessee teams to see what pre-3-pointer basketball looked like).
