The ESPN crew picks us over Missouri State 4-0.  That seems dangerous to me.

"The Lady Bears have had the luxury of playing two teams (DePaul and Iowa State) with a similar style in the opening two rounds. Stanford will play inside-out. How Missouri State handles the Cardinal's size and length will determine how competitive the game is. -- Charlie Creme"

I know our play in the BYU game didn't exactly inspire confidence, but ESPN had unanimous picks in every Sweet 16 matchup (they picked the higher seed in each one) except the NC State-Iowa game, where the majority went for the upset, so I wouldn't put too much stock into that.

Though Nell Fortner seems to think that Missouri State has a good shot of beating us.

If we shoot the ball well and play good defense (esp. from long range, in our four losses this year, we gave up +40% shooting percentage, including two +60% efforts from Gonzaga and Oregon), then I have confidence we will win.
