7th ranked Oregon State came into tonight's game in Palo Alto looking for a school record 15th win in a row, and their first ever win at Maples Pavilion, and amidst premature talk of a second consecutive Pac-12 regular season championship and maybe even a 1 seed, certainly a 2, in the NCAA Tournament.
Stanford coach Tara Van DerVeer and the Cardinal, and especially Erica McCall said "Not so fast."
Oregon State came in unprepared, for McCall, for a disciplined defense that was determined to shut down Pac-12 Player of the Year Jamie Weisner, or to make adjustments to much of anything Stanford did.
