What was Stanford thinking?

| | Comments (0) |

Mitch Johnson was guarded closely behind the arc in the waning moments of Saturday's game, so Stanford, down by three points (it could've been more, but James Keefe missed two free throws with 19 seconds left), got the ball inside and Lawrence Hill made an uncontested dunk. But by the time Johnson made the dunk, there was only 3.1 seconds left. Stanford coach Trent Johnson said after the game that the plan was to go for a 2-point basket after Keefe missed his free throws, he just figured the Cardinal would've gotten a shot off sooner. Ben Howland thought Stanford's plan was altered because the Bruins played such good defense.

About Inside UCLA

This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
