Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3073812, member: 2117"] Stanford has had more "ones that got away" than a lot of schools besides maybe Tennessee and Connecticut. Main ones that come to mind are: 1997-they were a 1 loss team and lost a brutal overtime game to Old Dominion. Winner faced 28-10 Tennessee for the title. Stanford beat Tennessee by 17 earlier in the year and had a LOADED roster back then with the likes of POY Kate Starbird, Kristin Folkl and Vanessa Nygaard. I think they beat Tennessee in a title game. 2010-UCONN played what may have been the worst half of basketball in program history but Stanford blew a great opportunity. They missed many good looks, particularly Jayne Appel who had the worst game of her career and no one on the team could throw it in the ocean. 2011-this one might be the worst...they were so loaded that year with the Ogwumikes, Pederson and Pac 10 POY Pohlen. Pohlen had an awful first half and Stanford ultimately lost a golden opportunity to play Notre Dame, a team they would've been heavily favored against. [/QUOTE]
