"crowd her space" describes how we can expect UCLA to play, especially pressuring the guards. UCLA will also contest/crowd dribble handoffs, looking for deflections that can turn into turnovers and quick points. They will overplay passing lanes and try to inhibit cuts. Crowd until (or unless) you get called for a foul and then crowd some more.
In general this has worked in the first 2 games this season. Jones and Lepolo had a combined 14 TOs in the 2 games (8 by Jones, 6 by Lepolo). Osborne had 9 (!) steals in the 2 games. Stanford's guards have to be sharp and play smart tonight.
