Was last night's late-night show the game of the year? Tennessee controlled the first half, and seemed on its way to a blowout; the Cardinal looked physically overmatched.

But Wiggins lit up, coach TV's defensive plan turned solid, her role players got themselves to the line, and the home team spent most of the second half holding a small lead in front of a sold-out crowd.

In fact, they held that lead through the final seconds of regulation, when Wiggins-an 89% free throw shooter-- missed both, Parker sank a swift field goal, and Stanford PG Gold-Onwude ran out of time. Result: five more minutes of basketball.

"The overtime game, I blame that totally on myself," Wiggins said afterwards. Comparison: Duke's well-known chokes. Was Stanford headed to that place?

Answer: nope. Gold-Onwude sank two three-pointers, Wiggins got her head back in the game, and the Cardinal's team play overcame UT's superior physicality for Stanford's biggest reg-season win this decade. The Cardinal, who schedule Tennessee regularly, haven't beaten Pat Summitt's team in eleven years.

It's fun to relive closing seconds (or painful, if your team lost), but the game-long story involved turnovers, defensive game plans, and rebounds: Candace P outscored Candice W, 25 to 22, but Appel and Pederson combined for 22 boards.

Lots of the folks in Maples were there to see Parker. But coach TV has earned the right to say it: "Tonight Candice is spelled with an i."
