We're pretty tough on the team this year.Â
On the plus side last night -
1)Â Stanford got the kind of tough challenge coaches LOVE before the NCAA tournament
2)Â They beat a top 20 team that knows them well and had a good defensive game plan
3)Â The team has almost two weeks to prep and get healthy before their first round game
4)Â Stanford can fall no lower than a #2 NCAA seed and has a good shot at a #1
5)Â Chiney NEVER has two bad games in a row
6)Â Amber Orrange emerged as a tournament ready guard who can carry a team in the absence of their best player
Stanford is loaded for another regional final and has a decent shot at a Final Four. If they make it that far then anything else is icing for the 2012/2013 cake.Â
Sure they have weaknesses but take a good look at the other likely #1 seeds. Does anyone see a Maya Moore led UConn or a Candace Parker led Tennessee out there? In my opinion it looks like EVERYONE has a chink in their armor. Baylor is probably the clubhouse favorite and Stanford beat them already this year.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
