Stanford's women's basketball team, a No. 1 seed, was shockingly eliminated from the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday by No. 8 Ole Miss. It was a historic defeat that marked just the fifth time since 1994 that a No. 1 seed was knocked out before the Sweet 16. Stanford never led in their 54-49 loss.
This is the first time since 2007 that Stanford has failed to make the Sweet 16, and head coach Tara VanDerveer tried to be objective about the season when she spoke to the media following the loss — maybe a little too objective.
