Thanks for your continued interest and contributions to Stanford women’s Basketball! I always enjoy reading your assessments and insights. I must admit that this one left me a bit unsettled about our last loop into the mountain schools this year!

Both in terms of my thanks for Bob's always insightful information, and also for the way Colorado leaves me feeling. They didn't really lose anyone important, did they? And they were very tough last year. Those 5th year seniors Sherrod and Quay Miller, and senior Formann, are a very strong core.
I should have been paying attention--do we know enough about the conference schedule to say we are definitely traveling to the Mountain schools?

The Conference schedule on who plays who and where was released a month ago so yes we know. :)

This year, the trip to Utah and Colorado will probably be the toughest road trip in the conference, and they do not have to reciprocate. Some might think it is an advantage to only play them once, but I'd rather have the chance to even the score with them at Maples if the road trip goes badly.
We get UCLA and USC at home and don't have to travel to SoCal, when that is physically the least demanding trip and a trip to a key recruiting area. And a fan favorite given so many alums live in SoCal.
Not a good schedule draw for us, unless one thinks that Utah, Colorado, UCLA, and USC are our top competitors and we play all of them only once. But somehow it still doesn't sit well with me. Counting on only having to lose to someone once instead of twice is not what we do.
I will be lost next year in the ACC trying to figure out what kind of schedule we should desire. There certainly won't be the same opportunities for fans to travel to away games.
