I saw a lot of Sacred Heart baskets last night that I thought Cam would have blocked or at least prevented. Most of their points were in the paint or near and Stanford def should be able to deal with them there. As for size, they do have a 6'2" player but she's not a starter. She played 16 minutes last night. Tallest starters are two at 6'0" -- in short, they are at a major size disadvantage. Yes, they did force Southern into a lot of turnovers last night, but quite a few were simply clumsy play on Southern's part. If we pay attention and don't make silly passes, we should be able to limit the turnovers.
The main player to watch, whom we really need to pay attention to, is Pryor, the 5'3" point guard. She could play in any power-5 conference and do well -- very aggressive. Not only is she their leading scorer at 18 pts/game, she's also their leading rebounder, steals, and assists person. Has a 1.55 assist/turnover ratio. A measure of her aggressiveness, she gets to the free throw line a lot, averaged nearly 6 free throw attempts per game. But she's not a great free throw shooter, 67.5%. For the team as a whole, not great at 3s, 27.5% for season, averaging 5.3/game. (Last night they had only 3). They do create turnovers, in large part due to Pryor's aggressiveness, averaging almost 10 steals per game.
