Shortly before the game, Stanford’s elite freshman guard Tyrell Terry was ruled out. While it doesn’t appear to be serious, it meant Jerod Haase’s short rotation got even shorter. Against a strong San Francisco squad, that could have spelled disaster. But Daejon Davis refused to let that happen.
“I don’t know that in 8 years as a head coach now, I’ve ever been more proud of one player,” said Coach Haase, visibly choked up. “He’s growing up and doing so many things on and off the court, and it’s really been fun to be a part of.”
Like he has all year, Davis brought a high level of intensity and energy on defense from the opening tip.
