Louisville is the more talented team, but I'm going to predict a Stanford upset. Tara knows how to set a game plan especially when she's had this much time between games.

 

[Paul1969]

I really want Stanford to come out of this bracket

 

[Ozimoto]

Stanford is always a tough out in the tournament. If Louisville is inefficient on the offensive end of the floor they will be in trouble. I think this game is the one most likely to produce an "upset" tonight.

 

[bizarro aj]

Jeff will help his buddy geno pick up 4 more games on tara.

Same here. Tara is definitely, IMO, the second best coach in WBB

 

[Hongster]

This is going to be a big test for Louisville. I don't know if they escape Tara's wicked coaching.

 

[Charliebball]

like with the other games, I would love Stanford to upset the favorite but I don't think that will happen................Louisville by double digits

 

[triaddukefan]

I'll be pulling for the ACC... But I have a feeling that Stanford with the preparation time will pull off the upset.

Definite dub for Walz. Will be an exciting game though.

Kiana Williams is really coming into her own, and she can score from almost anywhere. Will be interesting to see Walz's game plan for guarding her...

Agree about Williams - lots of talent, and smart player as well. The Cardinals still have those trees, and their height, and Tara's coaching, might just tip the scale in their favor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Agreed about K. Williams. Alanna Smith has been really good for the Cardinal in the Tourney so far. McPhee was going through a slump in recent games but maybe got out of it against FGCU.

 

[Bigboote]

I see this one begin competitive, with Louisville pulling away at the end.

 

[MSGRET]

The Cardinals will defeat the Cardinal!!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Which version of Louisville shows up? The team that hammered Notre Dame could beat anybody in the country. The team that followed that up and couldn't score against Florida St. could lose to a bunch of teams. Probably somewhere in between is what we'll see.

 

[Shades]

ESPN scoreboard shows this game starting at 9:52 PM ET?

 

[DefenseBB]

IS it mandatory that EVERY PAC12 have an Aussie on the roster?

 

[SCspur]

As long as Stanford can keep it close I will never doubt TARA!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lots of scoring in Q1 but maybe Stanford can't keep up this pace if Louisville continues hot shooting?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jump ball on that? Wow. McPhee got fouled 3 times and refs saw nothing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Too many TOs by Stanford. In danger of losing contact just before halftime, down 11.

Cards 42 Card 31

Stanford is gonna need a major clamp down on defense. If this gets into high 70s, don't see them having a chance.

Yeah, from my seats which are in Row T in the arena, it looked like a mugging. It was our player too, but man, they missed that big time.

 

[MSGRET]

Stanford had 6 chances and couldn't hit a basket,
