I predict defense will be the key in this one.

That is a pretty safe prediction!  When Rueck and Tara coach against each other, there are sometimes quarters when both teams are in the single digits.  I think Stanford's defense is good enough to make that happen again.  OSU is relying on a couple of freshmen quite a bit, so it will be interesting to see how far along defensively they are.  Hopefully not too far!  Clearly we hope that Wilson can shut down Goodman, Lexie or Lacie or Williams can shut down their other perimeter players, and that our inside game on offense can run amok while our outside shooters punish anyone who sags off.
