I'm a little short on quality photos tonight, but hopefully these will convey something of what it was like to be there. Zeek was a force everywhere, racking up 21 points, 6 assists, and 6 steals while shooting 60% from downtown. Josh Smith was hobbled early by foul trouble, and while there were many ticky-tack fouls tonight, not all of his were so questionable. Despite that, he still managed to lead the team in rebounds (with 7), and added on 7 points. But to me, the stat of the game is Stanford's shooting; our defense held them to 39% shooting (season avg. 44%), and to 61 points, 10 below their season average. Without the points from their numerous (and often undeserved) trips to the charity stripe, this game would have been a lot more comfortable toward the end, so props to the team for dealing with the frequent whistles and ending on a 10-point run near the end to all but close it out and force the foul game.

Unfortunately, none of the pictures I have of him tonight just don't do Zeek justice.
