Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, December 17, 2006

Stanford has three losses already this year: you might think that if Wiggins sat out the second half and Brooke Smith (for the first time ever) failed to score, against a team that reached last year's Elite Eight, the Cardinal would be in trouble.

You would be wrong. Stanford steamrolled Utah in Maples; four Cardinal players reached double figures, among them much-watched frosh post Jayne Appel.

Stanford also hit 7 of 18 three-pointers, including Cissy Pierce's two-for-two. Coach VanDerveer: "We're not a one- or a two-player team." Wiggins felt pain in her hamstring: she'll be evaluated, but looks OK.
