In what was forecast as “The year of Love”, the Stanford D has shown their opponents none thus far in ’18, giving up an average of only 7.67 points per game in their first three contests. Worth noting, that defensive average would be an even stingier 5.33 points per, if UC Davis had not completed a somewhat meaningless Hail Mary that pinballed off several players as time expired. It is what it is, I’m just sayin’.
In terms of the defensive stat lines, they are not as gaudy as they usually would be in a win such as this, but even that fact is a testament to the overall Cardinal performance.
