I recall seeing a TV game of Stanford vs UConn a number of years ago and noting how much more athletic they looked than we did. I don't think that's the case any more.

Agree that athletically Stanford can hang with UConn (though Williams and Westbrook are very high on Q&A meter, probably better than anything we have).  It's the skillset - namely shooting the ball from beyond 5 feet - where UConn may have the advantage.  I'm hoping any such advantage will prove insufficient to win the game.  But I'm not confident going into this one - nor should any remaining team fan base be confident.  (I can see a way where SC wins comfortably . . . but "winning comfortably" against Louisville strikes me as oxymoronic, and think that one could be a barnburner, too).
