Fiddled around in the morning doing this and that. Well, one thing of note: sat down with Charity Navigator and made donations to the list of charities I curated last year. To get all my donations into the tax year.
In the afternoon was SWBB against Tennessee, nationally televised on ESPN2. Seeing how they played against lesser teams (UC Davis, UOP) I had predicted they would at best squeak out a narrow win here. In the first quarter the two teams seemed well-matched. In the second quarter Stanford went nuts and ran up a 20-point lead. After the half, in the third quarter, they went 8 of the 10 minutes without a score and let Tennessee come back to within 3 points. Then in the fourth they found their stroke again and ended up winning by 6.
Tuesday they play South Carolina, who they beat by 1 point in the Final Four last spring, so you know that SC will be motivated. Again on ESPN2.
