Great Travolta screen capture :)

Does this Stanford team know how to beat a press?  Maybe I\'m conjuring ghosts of teams past...

They have been great at beating the press every time they\'ve seen it this year, and that\'s been often. For example, it was fun to watch St. John\'s try to press against the big lineup with Pohlen the only true guard. The book would say to press against a lineup of big players when you are smaller and quicker. Stanford calmly sliced up the press with deft passing over the heads of the smaller defenders, plus some good dribbling by the bigs when needed.

Alternatively, when Toni is on the floor, she can dribble around traps and leave the two players trying to trap her in the dust.
