Game Thread: (7/9) Lady Vols 63 - (3/3) Stanford 74

The Cardinal is second in total appearances in the AP poll with 592 behind Tennessee (756). Its 451 appearances in the top 10 are third, trailing Tennessee (619) and Connecticut (517) and its 266 appearances in the top five are fourth behind Connecticut (470), Tennessee (464) and Louisiana Tech (278).

Stanford is 12-25 all-time against the Lady Vols, but has won six of the last nine. Nine of Stanford’s 12 wins in the series have come in Maples Pavilion, but the Cardinal has split its last four meetings in Knoxville.

Following an 11-game Lady Vol win streak from 1997-2006, Stanford is 8-6 against Tennessee since 2007. The last meeting between the two was Stanford’s largest in the series, a 78-51 Cardinal victory in December of 2019.

82 percent of scoring, 95 percent of rebounding and 81 percent of Stanford's assists return to the floor from last years National Championship team.

Yep. Hannah Jump hit 7 threes against Maryland. We cannot let her start feeling it tomorrow, but if she does, we'd better find a way to neutralize Lexie Hull because it would be a problem if both of them are shooting well along with having to somehow keep Brink in check. And Jones ... and .... and...

ESPN app still shows the game at 3:15 MT on ESPN 2

Why in the world would they use Mountain Time????? NEITHER program is located in that time zone. Why not just use Eastern (5:15 p.m.) like they do for every other game? Jeez. You'd almost think somebody somewhere is TRYING to make people miss it!

It’s in mountain on my app because I’m in MT :) I believe it sets you wherever the user is so no worries! Actually makes it easier if you don’t live in the same time zone as the game

Probably because when they checked, they were in the MT time zone. Mine shows 4:15 and someone in the ET zone will show 5:15. If I'm not mistaken, ESPN displays the game time in the time zone you are in when you pull the page up.
 
I actually think the X-Factor is going to be Sara Puckett. Her ability to be crafty with shot selections, and be an inside and an outside scorer is going to be vital for us. Horston is also gonna have to bring her A game. Alexus Dye and Key will also need to be important. Jordan Walker and Darby can be the outside presents we will need to be hitting jumpers, but we need to establish an inside game first. No forcing it inside, but just attack the rim, and allow Key and Dye to clean boards if shots are missed.
Jones is very versed, skillwise, so its a good matchup: technician v technician
 
I feel like if the game were in Jeopardy they would have made a call already since we are expecting a good crowd. If they knew it wasn’t taking place I’m sure the school would have said so to prevent people from traveling for no reason.

“Stanford, they present a lot of challenges,” Harper said. “I think you start looking at the personnel, they’re going to be bigger than us. That doesn’t happen a lot, but they will be bigger than us. They’re very intelligent. They pass the ball extremely well, so if you goof on defense, they’re going to make you pay.
 
Please, please let this game happen. My younguns are interested in going to the game for the first time in a long, long time and I have great tickets.

We win, we're 10-0 with a really fancy win, then the season is cancelled and we hang a banner, right?

Do they test daily? I feel like if the game was going to get cancelled it would have by now, unless daily test screw it up this morning.
