Stanford continues to silence the doubters and haters.

Down one with less than a second left, Kelley Suminski hit the shot of her life to send her team to the Elite Eight. "I don't know whether to cry or celebrate,'' Suminski said.

And it was Nicole Powell, who had endured a second half full of cold shooting and booing by the fans, who made it happen. She drove, drew several defenders, and found Kelley wide open at the top of the key. (She also ended one assist shy of a triple double.)

Vandy, frankly, choked.

With Stanford struggling in the second half, the Commodores could have put the game away. But everyone got tentative on offense, and the shots were barely reaching the front of the rim. Benningfield couldn't do much of anything, and the team missed almost half of its free throws. On the last possession, even after calling a timeout, Vandy didn't even get a shot off.

A tough way to go out for Vandy, and a win to remember for the Cardinal.
