STANFORD WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM STILL UNSURE OF LINEUP JUST DAYS BEFORE OPENER – Tara VanDerveer and Amy Tucker provided more food for thought than answers in the Cardinal women’s 100-54 victory over Vanguard in their second and final exhvition game Saturday night.

HISTORIC EVENT: ANDY BROWN MAKES IT THROUGH FIRST STANFORD PRACTICE – Let’s take a moment following Stanford’s first official day of basketball practice to commemorate a historic moment: Andy Brown made it through an entire practice without getting hurt.

STANFORD ROLLS COLORADO; SCHEDULE STARTS TO GET TOUGHER – The soft part of Stanford’s early-season schedule did not completely end with its 48-7 victory over Colorado on Oct. 8, but the competition will get progressively more challenging over the next several games leading up to the Nov. 12 showdown against Oregon. The Cardinal has not ...
STANFORD’S LUCK CONTINUES HEISMAN PUSH AGAINST COLORADO — Stanford continues its soft early-season schedule with an Oct. 7 home game against Colorado, and not only is the Cardinal playing at home, but Colorado looks like the worst team in the Pac-12 at the moment, having lost at home to Washington State on Oct. 1.
