Everyone knows the Ogwumikes inside give Stanford\'s its biggest advantage . . . at least on paper.

And everyone knows Stanford needs to take care of the rock and limit A&M\'s transition buckets.

And everyone knows Stanford will need to hit some threes, especially if A&M plays zone and tries to collapse on the O-Team (I expect to see a fair amount of zone from both teams, frankly).

But I think a key factor being Stanford\'s ability to knock the jumper from about the FT line.  Kayla can get that shot against both man or zone defenses.  It may prove very important for Stanford.

We\'ll see . . .

P.S.  Tinkle can hit that shot, too.  Haven\'t seen Ruef try it much, but I expect that to be in her arsenal beginning next season.
