Message: [QUOTE="bayern7, post: 4266827, member: 10631"] Stick with the same starting lineup On the defensive side -Take care of the ball as best as we can, Stanford wins games by scoring in transition off turnovers, so we need to keep that in check as best as we can. [LIST] [*]Liv and Aliyah will play the whole game if they stay out of foul trouble, keep the passing lanes tight for them and we need to try not leave huge gaps on the weak side like we did against NC State. Stanford will do a better job of exploiting that. They're a great cutting team. [*]One of Paige, Azzi, Christyn, Evina, or Nika need to face guard Lexie, put the pressure on Jones and Brink to score and keep the paint tight. [/LIST] -Lexie, Jones, and Brink will all do their thing to some extent, most important thing for us is making it as hard as possible to let them have the shots they want, make em work for it. Maybe try to get Brink in foul trouble, not as easy as it was last year but worth a shot. This Stanford team is not as deep as us on the offensive side of the ball, even missing Dorka <3 On the offensive side -If we take good care of the basketball and our trio of guards are aggressive, do the work to get good looks, and meet the moment, we will win. -Making what free throws we get would be nice... -I also think its important that we don't see this team default to Paige early. She will have her moments to shine but everyone else needs to bring it. I think it's so impressive seeing her turn it on like she did last night this team thinks (like many people do) that Paige can single handedly win them a game as long as they do the basic stuff. Highly unlikely that will work going forward. - Liv and Aaliyah haven't come up against a shot blocker like Brink in a while so they better be taking extra midrange shots this week. If they want clean looks in the post, we need to hit them with the pass fast which we don't seem to do so I'm not holding my breath. If Liv and Aaliyah can hit a couple shots away from the basket (which they are both capable of) and mix up the offensive looks that will change the game. And lastly, say a prayer that everyone leaves this game, win or lose, healthy. [/QUOTE]
