The good news for Stanford fans: yesterday the Cardinal absolutely destroyed Rutgers in Maples.

The bad news, however, might be really bad: making her first start since coming back from an ACL tear, this year, J. J. Hones hurt the same knee where she tore her ACL her freshman year. (Thanks to reader MS for the correx.) While we don't know yet, it sounds like she's done for the year; "Unfortunately she's experienced that before," said coach TV.

Hones had six assists and made three of four three-point attempts in her limited time on the floor: the final score, frankly, makes Rutgers look like something other than a major conference team. But this sort of thing happens to the Scarlet Knightsabout once a year: they could still be formidable by the time the Big East season starts.
