Tara really rips into her team

[noirwestern]

Brace yourselves - there's no way this depleted shell of the team formerly known as the cardinal is going to beat T.

This is pretty unbelievable.

WIU is up 61-55 with less than 2:00 to play.

Stanford's horrendous free throw shooting is a major story here: 5 of 16 from the FT line!

Give some credit to Western Illinois, but Stanford looks dreadful.

Looks like Wilson and Williams started again for Stanford. Both in double figures but not shooting the ball very well, and only 2 assists combined. Gotta have more than that from a pair of supposed PG. Sniezek off the bench is scoreless but has 5 assists. Johnson still starting, only has 1 point but 16 rebounds. The make up of this team is kinda strange. They have some players that are fairly limited but are good at least one aspect of the game. Smith has 18 points and 13 boards. W/ McPhee and Carrington both out, Smith is their best player left by a fairly wide margin.

Who was saying they are a much better team at home? They haven't played many home games this year and no noteworthy opponents, so it's kinda hard to say how much of a home court advantage they really have.

Bad shooting all around--32% from the floor, 25% from 3, 31% from the line. It's hard to believe how bad Stanford has been so far this year. They need to get McPhee and Carrington back pronto.

WIU leathernecks win 71-64 Stanford 8 for 19 from charity stripe.
Stanford is now 6-5 with home games coming up against Tenn, UCLA, and USC before 2017 ends.
7-7 or 6-8?

I was thinking that the refs really swallowed their whistles for the last two minutes to let them play but more likely they just wanted it to be over, too.

The Leathernecks mauled the Trees

That was me..generally stanford is a super tough home team to beat, well for tennessee at least. Looks like a rough season ahead for the ol cardinal.

Didnt stanford lose a first round game to a 16 seed years back? I think it was harvard or yale if memory serves

1998.... Harvard and Allison Feaster defeated an injury depleted Stanford Squad. I remember watching that game rooting for Harvard. Feaster was a beast in that game.

Perhaps Tara should take a page out of Sherri's playbook? Apologize to Stanford fans for the team's terrible performance. Oklahoma seems to have righted the ship after that. Perhaps her players were humiliated enough by Sherri's comments that they get their heads together...
