Arizona, at 2,112, is fourth, fol
lowed by UCLA, Oregon State, Ari
zona State and USC.
California is ninth at 894 fans per
game, while Washington State at
tracts a measly 403 fans per game at
Friel Court. Cal is 1-8 in conference
play, Washington State is 0-11.
Is it a coincidence that these two
squads are at the bottom of the bar
rel in conference play?
Probably not. Stanford and Ore
gon have traditionally attracted the
largest crowds and have been the
most successful in recent years.
California and Washington State
have not gotten the masses’ atten
tion and haven’t played on the
court that well, either.
Stanford dominates
Stanford is running away with
the Pac-10 title.
The Cardinal, 10-0 in league play
(20-1 overall), leads in nearly every
statistical Pac-10 category.
At 81.4 points per game, Stan
ford paces the conference by sev
en points in that category, yet al
lows its opponents just 61.8 points
per game.
That figure places the Cardinal at
third in the conference. The No. 1
and No. 2 squads in that category?
California is first at 58 points al
lowed per game, while Arizona
State closely follows them at 61.2.
The Stanford red has closely re
sembled a stoplight this season. Not
many teams have been able to make
a dent in the Cardinal’s armor and
only a few squads have finished the
game within 10 points of Stanford.
Stanford’s only loss came to
then-No. 2 Tennessee, 68-62, al
most two months ago.
After a 76-62 loss to the No. 3
Cardinal last week, Arizona head
coach Joan Bonvicini had nothing
but praise for Stanford.
“This is Stanford’s best team in
five or six years,” she told the Asso
ciated Press. “Who knows what
will happen down the road?
“Stanford has so many weapons
and if you make a mistake, they
can convert. It’s not only the
starters. They have people coming
off the bench doing things. They
have a shot to do damage in the
tournament because they have
good depth.”
If there was a chink in Stanford’s
armor, it would have to be the
team’s depth in the backcourt. They
can play with most teams in the
conference but do not often domi
nate; however, they were good
enough to contain Edniesha Curry
and Shaquala Williams when the
Ducks visited Palo Alto, Calif., ear
lier this month.
But if a team messes with the
Stanford frontcourt, they’re bound
to get burned. Nicole Powell and
Lindsey Yamasaki are top players
in the conference, and are key to
the Cardinal’s success.
In fact, Yamasaki was so good
last week against the Arizona
schools, she was named the Pac-10
Player of the Week. The Oregon
City, Ore., native averaged 24.5
points per game, including 27
points against Arizona State.
