Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3921360, member: 1131"] Note that unlike most other teams that are still alive, Stanford has had only one competitive game in this NCAA tournament. Utah Valley and Missouri State have not been serious opponents. In their second game against Oklahoma State, Stanford was challenged and ended up winning by just 11 points. The Cowgirls actually won the second half of that game by 4 points, after being down by 15 at the half. I don't think you can draw a lot of conclusions about their potential to win the tournament from a game such as today's. I'm not sure whether Oregon or Louisville would be a more challenging Elite 8 opponent for Stanford, but they are certainly more familiar with Oregon. Stanford beat Oregon at home by 7 points on January 8, and by just 2 points in their away game on February 15. Based on that, Oregon could be a serious threat to them if they make it to the Elite 8.
