Stanford Cardinal podcast Daniel Dullum:

#1 Ebuka Okorie was a major factor in Stanford’s offense with his scoring and playmaking — how did his game-planning from the start affect UNC’s defensive approach, and what adjustments did he make when he started heating up?

#2 Jeremy Dent-Smith and Ryan Agarwal knocked down key three-pointers late in the previous matchup to help seal the win — what did those clutch shots say about Stanford’s confidence and the team’s execution in crucial moments?

#3 How important was it to contain Stanford’s shooters like Benny Gealer and Benny Agarwal rotation offensively, and were there any specific looks they wanted to take or avoid during crunch time?

#4 With Chisom Okpara’s status fluctuating due to injury this season, did his availability Saturday night change how the Cardinal structured its lineup, and how did that impact effect the Cardinal defensive matchups?

#5 Stanford’s depth includes Oskar Giltay and versatile wings — how did those role players influence the flow of the game, especially in rebounding and spacing, compared to the Cardinal scouting report?
