Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4426541, member: 11538"] If Maryland has their top player back they are probably top 15. I think SC is probably still favored but I think Stanford is probably the better team now from the early data. There are some valid points above, for example, SC defending the 3 very well as they do. Cardosa is having a great year so far and there is a ton of depth. If you look closely at Stanford they may have the bigs needed now to at least compete with SC's interior. They may have an advantage in 3 point shooting. SC's overall defense and physicality may obviate Stanford's advantages though as they just have a team of tremendous athletes. We will see. I think it's very close. I think the wild card though is that they may never face each other in the tournament. If SC's guards get cold, and the other team controls their tournovers, rebound acceptably and shoot well, SC can potentially lose, as any team can potentially lose. [/QUOTE]
