Jeremy Green Leads Stanford Past Virginia, Does the Dougie

Teach me how to Dougie.

It was only Virginia, it was only Virginia, it was only Virginia...

It's hard not to be excited about Johnny Dawkins' young squad after last night's 81-60 win against the Cavaliers at Maples Pavilion. Junior Jeremy Green, who was limited to two points on 1-for-7 shooting in Monday's win over San Diego, found his stroke Thursday and led five Stanford players in double-figures with 21 points. Green received plenty of offensive help from the freshmen he referred to as "a bunch of little kids running around" during a taped segment for FSN:

  • Aaron Bright attempted four shots, all of them 3-pointers, and made every one. Bright, who added four assists, gave Stanford a 37-34 halftime lead with a buzzer-beating shot from the top of the key.
  • Anthony Brown scored 13 points off the bench, including back-to-back 3-pointers to spark a 15-3 spurt that stretched Stanford's lead to 62-48 midway through the second half.
  • Dwight Powell was 5-for-5 from the field and had a thunderous baseline dunk in the second half.

Andrew Zimmermann had 12 points and five rebounds for Stanford, which shot 13-for-23 from 3-point range and only 6-for-14 from the free throw line.  Check out a collection of links and television photography documenting Green's swagger after the jump.

Not Texas indeed

As the Stanford Band broke the envelope of conformity many years ago and hasn’t looked back, I think any Stanford athlete can be free from those with a lot of expectations. As the band does, you just have to be willing to blow off your critics, unless you do something that really demands an apology.

I remember learning where that line was during my education at Stanford. I can’t imagine what Texas would have been like.

A team of surprises

So based on their poor shooting against USD and their slow start last night, I started rehearsing my thoughts on how it would be an up and down year for Stanford. Don’t get excited.

Then Green, Bright, Brown, and Powell made great shots and Zimmermann plugged away enough to score in double figures also. They won by 21?!!! I’m still suspicious that they’ll have plenty of off nights, but what if they really are this good? What if there are too many shooters now for everyone to be cold at once?

I tried looking up the record for most threes by a Stanford team in a game. I could only find the individual record, which is 8, done twice. Somebody might beat that on this team. That’s just one way this year could be exciting.

Justin Davis?

Wow… haven’t heard that name in a while… did he end up playing after he graduated? Europe maybe? Is he still playing? So many questions…
