I'm really nervous about this game -- it's not only Oregon that has been up and down. So have Stanford players. Fortunately, when one or two have an off night, someone else is available to step up, so we survive. But Lexie is the one who concerns me for Sunday. She had a fantastic game against Oregon the 1st time, then a great game vs OSU last night. Can she keep going? So often, she follows a really good game with one where her shot simply won't go in. Her defense and aggressiveness is always there, but offense, that's often hot or cold. I hope she can be hot two games in a row (OSU and Oregon) and twice against the same team (Oregon).

What I have noticed over the years since Chiney's unbalanced teams is that the player who scores the most to win a game against a good team is almost never the player who scores the most the second time around.  I would be surprised if Lexie has a great offensive night and not at all surprised if someone else came on strong.  Brink had only 5 against the Oregon zone, maybe tomorrow we will see Demetre or JVG as zone busters.  Sticking Jump in one corner, JVG in another, and Demetre in the soft spot at the elbow could pose problems for the zone.
