THE GOOD NEWS
The Cardinal, winless in two previous NCAA Tournament appearances in coach Trent Johnson's three seasons, got over the hump by winning twice to reach the Sweet 16. A big-time mindset has returned to Stanford. Johnny Dawkins was plucked from the Duke bench to push Stanford to the front of the Pac-10 pack.

THE BAD NEWS
Sophomore forward Brook Lopez, one of the nation's top interior players, almost certainly will enter the NBA draft. That move was expected. But losing his brother, Robin Lopez, who made great strides the second half of the season, is a move that most didn't fully expect. And another, Johnson jumping to LSU, was the biggest shocker.

KEY RETURNEES
Mitch Johnson, Anthony Goods and Lawrence Hill all return, although the latter two will need to upgrade their games after disappointing junior seasons and the need to pick up the slack with Brook and Robin Lopez turning pro.

ROSTER REPORT

--The Lopez twins are leaving Stanford.

Brook Lopez, with 26 points and 10 rebounds against Texas, averaged 20 points in three NCAA Tournament games. He finished the season averaging 19.3 points and 8.2 rebounds with 56 blocked shots.

Twin brother Robin Lopez, who averaged 12.5 points over Stanford's final 13 games, had 16 games this season with at least three blocked shots. Robin averaged 10.2 points and 5.7 rebounds for the year and swatted 83 shots.

--Junior point guard Mitch Johnson totaled 29 assists in three NCAA tournament games, including eight in the loss to Texas.

Good game tonight - a lot of fun to watch.  Your team played hard, harder than my team in fact.  Good luck in the Pac-10 this year.
