I think we'll put Anna on Fudd. She is exactly the type of player that Anna shuts down. Not overly physical, no dribble pullup to shoot over her. About 60% of her shots are catch and shoot 3's. She has a quick release, but she doesn't really like to shoot contested three's. She cannot be left wide open. 
Hulls on Paige and Williams.
Jones on Edwards
Brink on Nelson-Ododa

I think we matchup really well. 

As Teejers has noted, we have to contain Buecker's pullup J - it's got to be a major part of the scout. I think Anna will keep Fudd in check, so if we can do a reasonable job on Paige then I think we'll win. I don't think the other players can score enough to beat us. We like to chase over the top of screens. Will be interesting to see if we still do that or something different (hedge hard or even switch?).  I'm sure Tara has a good strategy in mind :>

Last note at T-4 days...Hannah Jump could play a major role in this one. UConn does not get up in the passing lanes like Maryland and Texas. She can get open against UConn.

How Stanford defends the pick and roll will be absolutely critical to the outcome of the game.  The #1 priority should be to stop the pull up jumper in space - i.e., the shots that Bueckers (and Fudd) knocked down to win the NC State game.  Whether you flash and recover or switch (can they really chase over the top), you have to be able to contest the mid-range pull up.

Also, Stanford needs to be wary when UConn's 4 -across goes extra high.  Every once in a while, you'll see the 4 across players go above the FT line.  That is simply to allow wing with ball to straight up beat their man off the dribble to the rack before help D can arrive.  They have Paige, Fudd, Westbrook and even Williams (iirc) has the ability to beat the defender - especially an unsuspecting one - off the bounce.

My only nit with you is on Fudd.  I've only seen her play (in any extended amount) in the NC State game, and I thought she showed great ability to drive and dish and drive and pull up.  She also was very clutch.

The guard defensive play for Stanford is going to be absolutely critical. 

I'm just assuming (I hope correctly) that Stanford will win the battle inside.  In fact, I'm banking on dominating there.
