The Stanford men won the best college basketball game of the season yesterday and improved to 20-0. The Stanford women lost their worst game of the season to ASU. Coach TV called it "an absolute meltdown."

It takes more than one player to make a good basketball team, and the Cardinal continue to be hurt by their near exclusive reliance on Nicole Powell. No one other than Nicole reached double figures yesterday. The team shot 28% overall and just 2 for 25 from outside.

And sometimes Nicole gets worn down or just has a tough stretch -- she was 2 of 16 in the second half. (The same thing happened in the second half of the Tennessee game, when Stanford gave that game away.) Something needs to change.
