A Look Back: Stanford Sensational In 2007-08 Nobody broke out of the gates quicker than Anthony Goods, who emerged as the Cardinal’s top scoring threat early in the year. During the opening weekend, Goods poured in a season- high 23 points against UC Santa Barbara in the final game of the Basketball Travelers Classic. A pair of double-digit perfor- mances, coupled with a 9-17 clip from three-point territory, resulted in Goods being named MVP of the three-day tourna- ment.

The following is a breakdown by class of where the Cardinal stands heading into the 2008-09 campaign. Seniors The Cardinal will surely benefit from a four-member senior class that collectively ranks as one of the best in the conference. Three of the four seniors were regular starters from last year’s squad that finished 28-8 overall en route to the program’s first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance since 2001. Mitch Johnson and Anthony Goods garnered All Pac-10 Honorable Mention honors last year for the first time in their careers. The Cardinal’s floor general, Johnson started all but one game and is coming off a season in which he established career-highs in minutes played per game (31.5), scoring (6.7 ppg), rebounding Senior Lawrence Hill (4.3 rpg) and assists (5.2 apg).
