Some notable quotes:
- "Stanford doesn't just have depth -- it is high-quality depth and it wore down everyone in the Pac-12. The Cardinal can come at you like a swarm of hornets..."
- "Probably nobody enjoys scheming defensively more than Louisville's Jeff Walz, the architect of the famed takedown of No. 1 seed and defending champ Baylor in the 2013 NCAA tournament. So he will be up for the challenge with a game plan, but executing against this much Stanford talent is a big task for Louisville."
- "Walz is great at defensive strategizing. But it's one thing to have a scouting report. It's another to need one thicker than the unabridged version of "War and Peace." Stanford doesn't allow for just a Plan A and Plan B. Walz might have to go much deeper into the alphabet."
- "Another underrated aspect of Stanford's depth is its ability to mix and match defensive matchups. That means it won't be up to just one Cardinal defender to handle Dana Evans, making her job of scorer that much more difficult. That means Van Lith will need to have some impact if Louisville hopes to win."
- "But Cochran is the kind of player who could cause the foul trouble that Mechelle mentioned and disrupt those numbers. As deep as Stanford is, Brink on the bench alters the Cardinal approach and puts a little more pressure on players such as Jones, Hull and Williams to score."
