I thought this observation by Dawn Staley about prepping for playing against Stanford was interesting:

"Any one person can get hot on their team," Staley said. "If you don't have a star player, you do it by committee. [Defenses] don't have to double-team any one person, but you do have to prep for them top to bottom. It creates a longer scouting report and more information that our players have to remember and execute."

I do wish that were true.  I'd say when we have Erica/Alanna/Britt/Karlie/Bri on the floor together it can be true.  Bri has not been scoring much for quite a while, though.  And Alanna is almost always on the floor with Marta.

I have a hunch we will see a lot more of Bri on Friday, since we need her defense on Gray.  It would be wonderful if she could get some scoring going too.
