Nice analysis.  I agree with almost everything although I would put more emphasis on Stanford's lackluster passing and digging.  Needless to say the erratic first touch of the ball gives Miner limited options and setting to Vicini without a double block in front of her difficult.

It seemed to me Oregon's floor defense was substantially superior to Stanford. The one exception is Olgivie who IMO continues to improve.

At this point Stanford has no "good wins" in conference.  Losing to Oregon on the road is understandable.  Losing to UCLA at home hurts.  At this point getting a top 16 seed in the tournament seems unlikely although Stanford often is favored by the selection committee based on past reputation.
