#2 Michael, lets talk about the Cardinal’s last game they battled a very tough road tested USC Trojans (27-5) losing Sun Mar 10th in Las Vegas at the Pac 12 Tournament 61-74.

#3 It was a full on effort by Stanford forward Cameron Brink who scored 19 points but found herself getting double teamed and the Trojans set up some good defenses against the Cardinal.

#4 That last Stanford game had some historical significance it was the final Pac 12 game for the Stanford Women and for head coach Tara VanDerveer she will miss the Pac 12 format but is ready for the next chapter in Stanford basketball in the ACC.

#5 Stanford gets set this Friday for a 7:00pm PDT tip with the Norfolk State Spartans. The Spartans are hot they’ve won 15 straight games going into the NCAA Tournament. They’re ranked 15th. The Cardinal are No.2 and have the home floor advantage. Do you see the Cardinal having their hands full or will they have a chance to control the Spartans in this first round game?
