This should be a fast game, and should result in a high score. Probably will result in a relatively high number of turnovers and a (for the tournament) a relatively large number of fouls.
Given NC\'s propensity for fast play, maybe Toni would start rather than Lindy. If Toni\'s ankle is ok, Toni will probably play the majority of the game. Speed-wise, I could see Tara playing only the top 6 players. But she again might go with a tall lineup at some point.
I would recommend avoiding 3ptrs early in the game as misses will play into their game. Post up the O team and get the ball to one or the other. If Stanford can get good offensive rebounding (or never miss!), Stanford can cut down on their speed advantage. Of course we need to avoid losing the ball at the guard positions.
OMG! We\'re playing against Nicole Powell!! Fortunately she\'s only played in 12 games.

The two main guards play about 29min/game. Three players in low 20s. Four players in upper teens. So, NC has more breadth than Stanford. (Stanford has two in the 30s, one in the upper 20s, 3 in upper teens)
Their players in points per 40 minutes playing time:

NC losses: Ga Tech, UConn, Md, Miami, NC State, Ga Tech, Duke, Duke
Duke is a tall team (6\'5", 6\'3",6\'2") with lots of depth.
Ga Tech is a relatively short team except the center (6\'5", 6\'1", 3 guards) with most time played by 6 players.
