Basketball

As expected, the Stanford women came roaring back but UCLA helped them considerably, losing composure and permitting an 18 pt turnaround, Stanford winning by 9. The Bruins will get to the dance but they need to learn how to stay focused for an entire game. They made really stupid mistakes in the 2nd half.

Portland State women, in contrast, played a terrible first half but only trail by one. They need to win to get to the dance.

The Harvard men, who have never been to the dance, lost a last-second heart-breaker to Princeton. Damn, I wanted them to go.

LATER. The favored Portland State women also are shooting themselves in the foot and looks like they'll miss the big dance, losing against Montana.
