More from Mechelle: Celebrating senior night at Stanford

Let's face it, senior days/nights are not created equal. Not all women's basketball programs have a history that's successful. Or even if it is successful, it hasn't mattered enough to the school or community.

At Stanford, though, it does matter. The program, which has won two NCAA titles and been to the Final Four an additional six times, certainly has a history, and each incoming class is aware of the importance of living up to that.
