Candice was simply brilliant on both ends of the court. She scored 35 points and had four steals, three assists, two blocks,four rebounds and zero turnovers. She didn't quite match her career high (37 points against Oregon in 2006). But she brought her career total to 2000, the fifth Cardinal to achieve that (the others: Kate Starbird, Val Whiting, Nicole Powell, Jeanne Ruark Hoff).
Here are four reports of the Stanford/Baylor game:
Stanford pounds BU, 87-63 Waco Tribune-Herald staff report, "Whatever shooting woes that Candice Wiggins was having before Sunday, they’re gone." The report quotes Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, “She could do whatever she wanted today. She did what she wanted on the defensive end. She created a lot of havoc, and we didn’t have anyone who could keep up with her. The bottom line is we got whipped in every facet of the game today."
The star comes out when Wiggins hits court for Stanford by Ann Killion, Mercury News. "Here's one simple but impossible answer for gaining more exposure [for media coverage of women's sports]: more athletes like Wiggins!"
The Difference Jeff Lippman, CSTV."Sunday night in Palo Alto will go down as the game that Candice Wiggins showed just how scary she can be on a basketball court."
Credit Wiggins for this Cardinal win by Michelle Smith, San Francisco Chronicle. "The senior All-American set the standard on both ends of the floor for the Cardinal, scoring 35 points, playing stellar defense and absorbing a good deal of Baylor's physical game plan."
A fan asked Candice if they were beating up on her as much as it looked, and she replied, "Yeah, but that's basketball!"
And here are the AP game recap, photo gallery and the box score from Stanford Athletics.
