I think most expect Stanford to be down considering all the turnover. Not making the tournament would be a surprise though!
State played Anderson in an exhibition and won 91-54.
Notables from the game - azaiah James, Zoe brooks, Madison Hayes and Caitlyn Weimar did not play - all projected starters. Sounds like Weimar is potentially missing the entire season whereas the other 3 were held out for precautionary reasons and had minor sprains - although James’s is a knee so maybe a little more concerning.
Freshman Zam Jones led the team with 19 points 9 boards and 4 assists. Rivers had 14 points 10 boards and 5 assists. Balanced scoring with everyone getting at least 5 points and 5 in double figures. The post is the big question and Awou, Williamson, and Collier combined to go 12-15 which is nice but can’t take anything away from it really as State had a massive size advantage which won’t be the case against bigger schools.
Overall the freshmen flashed a lot of potential but hard to take much from this game with 80% of the starters not playing and the post not having a fair fight down low.
