On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Daniel:

#1 Stanford used a big second quarter surge to pull away from No, 15 Arizona Monday, as the No, 2 Cardinal earned a 73-57 Pac-12 women’s basketball victory at Maples Pavilion last Saturday.

#2  One thing you could say about Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer she gat this team turned up on it’s defense that turned out to be the key in the win over the Wildcats last Monday.

#3 It was the Cardinal’s 10th consecutive win, as they held the high-scoring Wildcats to their lowest offensive output o the season. Arizona (12-2 overall, 2-1 Pac-12) had been averaging 81.2 points per game and had been winning by an average of 22.3 points.

#4 Haley Jones continues to impress with 18 points 16 rebounds the most for Jones this season and five assists, how much does her contributions help in making this team successful on the offensive end as well the reason why their ranked No.2.

#5 The Cardinal host the Cal Bears next on Sun Jan 8th. Cal has won five of their last eight games. Most recently Cal lost a tough game against Arizona in Berkeley in their last game 63-56 on New Years Eve. No doubt the Wildcats are one of the toughest in the Pac 12. How do you see Cal and Stanford tangling this Sunday at Haas Pavilion.
