Based on what everyone has said, and what Tara's said, my guess is the starting lineup is:

Lepolo
Jump
Jones
Brink
Iriafen

Unless Jones will run point and we don't need an outside shooter in a wing type position, an Emma-Nopu starting lineup has to boot Jump, and that lineup is incredibly tall and pretty weak from outside. And it seems weird to think of a lineup with no guard shorter than 5'11 on the Court, though of course the post-Hones, Pohlen-as-PG days were that way as well.

From what Tara said, the fact that "2" have not started means the 3 probably have started.  And if she said "have not started before" I think implies "before for Stanford" and since that statement would assume that the people in question have been at Stanford, it must mean that no freshmen will start tonight.

Put that deconstruction of her sentences together and you get this lineup, I think:
1. Jones
2. Jump
3. Emma-Nnopu or Demetre
4. Brink
5. Iriafen

I really, really don't know whether it will be Emma-Nnopu or Demetre--that is a coin flip to me given my information, and I can invent reasons for why Tara would prefer either one over the other.  A lot of people are going to come in off the bench quickly, whoever starts.

I’m guessing it’s Emma-Nnopu because Tara really prioritizes defense (think Wilson and Lacie starting last year).  BUT, if Demetre has shown in practice that she’s a 40+% 3-point shooter then she has a shot.
