Rutgers-Villanova playing for PAC title

[MilfordHusky]

You are crazy.

Thanks.

Stanford looked poor today, but flying 2,500 miles and playing in front of an unfriendly crowd are not positives for Duke.

UCLA had it but couldnt make the plays down the stretch. Orrange did.
10 misses, 4 TOs, 2 fouls, 5 pts in final 7 minutes.

Stanford 4 misses, 3 steals, 2 fouls, 14 pts

Brutal.

Considering the overall score, Stanford scoring 14 points in 7 mins is more of an anomaly than UCLA scoring only 4.

Sounds a little like the Xavier game a few years ago that Stanford won at the end. The game all but belonged to UCLA.

I don't know how you can compare Stanford, the team that UConn beat by 26 on its home floor, with Notre Dame, the team that has beaten UConn twice.

I bet you McCallie, desperate to get a final four, would pay big money to play in the middle of the Stanford quad rather than have to go thru ND.

Not quite as bad. Xavier had one of the most epic chokes ever, missing two wide open layups in the closing seconds.

ND is the better team clearly, though a healthy Duke team might have given them a game. I think our Stanford game was a best case scenario, and our ND games were worst case scenarios.

Stanford has vulnerabilities and did not play like a 1 seed today. They beat Duke last year, but they had Nneka.

The details and clock times were different, but in both cases, Stanford won a game when it looked as if it was going to lose.

You think Duke would rather play ND or Stanford with a shot at the final four?

Cant speak for all Duke fans....but for me.. its STANFORD STANFORD STANFORD STANFORD STANFORD

How unfriendly of a crowd would it be ??? Would the Spokane people root for Stanford ??? Their crowd cant be any more unfriendly than College Park

Heck... I'd give up doughnuts and Cheerwine for a year if it meant playing Stanford instead of ND in an elite 8 matchup.

Stanford appears to be just not very good and will be destroyed by the first good team they play in the NCAA's.
prob in the elite 8, maybe even the sweet 16.
Could they even beat Kentucky or Tex A&M? Perhaps not.
