According to gostanford.com, Stanford's second-round game @ Michigan is scheduled for 10 am PT on Sunday. I believe the game is being streamed on ESPN+.

The teams have several common opponents, but I don't know what that would tell us about Sunday's game given that the transitive property doesn't seem to apply college sports. So I will leave it to the several Cardboaders who, fortunately for the rest of us, are qualified to offer pre-game analysis.

I haven't watched the Skunkbears play this season so I don't have a sense of draw control and goalie play.  The transitive property has predicted not just wins and losses but goal differentials for high school lacrosse so far (caveat that it's only my daughter's first season of high school lacrosse).

All of Stanford's losses came on the road which I attribute to the fatigue of travel and off campus academic pressure rather than crowd atmosphere (there isn't much in this sport).   Hopefully they've had time to settle in Ann Arbor and playoffs puts professor pressure on papers and problem sets aside.

EDIT: I asked Claude. The Skunkbears feature one elite player at draw control (honorable mention All-American) whereas Stanford is deeper and more balanced at the circle. On goalie play, the Skunkbears' goalie is a frosh and she's honorable mention All-American. On the stats she's got the edge over Lucy Pearson who is an excellent goalie.
