Tara is fond of saying that by this time of year there are no more surprises. Everyone will play Stanford the same way (pack it in) until Stanford starts burning people from the outside.
Hopefully, Sarah Booth can play, because C.al has serious size in the post. I also hope Taylor is healthy enough to play, because it may very well be another dog fight.
Boyd was outstanding in the first game. Clarendon went off towards the end of regulation. As good as I think C.al is, I still think they need a lot of things to go exactly right for them in order to pull off the upset. I will be nervous.
One other thing re: our previous 1 seed vs. 2 seed discussion. Stanford is almost certainly going to have to travel for the 1st two rounds. As a 1 seed, they will more likely be playing at a neutral site. As a 2 seed, more likely in front of a hostile crowd. Stanford will probably have to win out in order to get that 1 seed.
