Stanford Needs a Win Against Iowa State to Head to the Sweet 16

 

Norfolk State Spartans faced Stanford with an almost identical record of win loss
But going into the first game as seeded 15 against Number 2 was burdened by a great albatross
Spiffy green uniforms pleasing to the eyes to see
And after the first quarter was trailing Stanford by only three
But then the quartet of Iriafen, Bosgana, Jump and Brink
With shots dropping like falling leaves Norfolk’s upset dreams would sink
Stanford defense was like an iron curtain and shut them down
79-50 with cheers still ringing in Palo Alto town
This Sunday at 7:00 Stanford plays Iowa State
Who trailing Maryland by 20 in 2nd half rallied to put a victory on its plate
Iowa State does not have a Caitlin Clark to set the records for most career points scored
But does have freshman Audi Crooks who in the win was at 40 points  on the floor
Worse this wrecking Cyclone is 6’3 and looks like a lot of weight she carries
Cameron may be pushed back so hard she will not be able to Crooks’ shots bury
More so than ever the hoopsters must be buoyed by fans
Viral fans at a viewing party to see Stanford in viewing party land
We must prevent a repeat at Maples in 2023
An upset by Ole Miss 54-49 so another trip to Sweet 16 Stanford fans would not see.
Our Stanford Women at Maples will hear and respond to our cheers
Amplified by Tustin Brewing pub cuisine  and fine crafted beers
Join Stanford fans at 7:00 p.m.  Tustin Brewery 13001 Newport Blvd Tustin
To once again head to Sweet 16 to closer to Final Four get near
Reserve place by contacting mridley@octechlaw.com if not at OSCA website
