I predict Stanford wins by at least 25 points.  It will be a completely different game than last time.

I could see that happening, and were it not for the woofing gods I might have been inclined to make a similar prediction.  Our team might improve considerably on account of finally being home and able to practice effectively.  Colorado might lose an edge in the absence of Sherrod, their general thinness of rotation, and giving up their elevation advantage.  Our team will be highly motivated and not at all inclined to overlook this team.  All that points in our direction.

However, last time Colorado came to Maples it was not exactly a 25 point win, but a squeaker in which we barely got to overtime on the basis of a fabulous inbounds bullet pass from Lacie to Prechtel for the tying basket.

However, in last year's game at Maples Sherrod led the Buffs with 21 points.  Colorado's fortunes this evening may hinge on how well they can replace her.

Here is the thread and my write-up from a year ago:

The rebounding problems were apparent last year too.  We started that game off giving Colorado more offensive rebounds than we had defensive rebounds.  Colorado wins ugly when they win--battering their way for offensive rebounds and put backs, and hoping against hope that it won't get them into foul trouble.

A tightly called game should favor us.  If you see Missy, you might as well spot Colorado a half a dozen points.
