Looking ahead: Stanford should play a large amount of 2-3 zone against Kansas. They are not a good outside shooting team (0-7 3FG vs. EKU, 34% on season) and Wiggins love to drive to the basket. Without Embiid they will not have the same offensive rebounding prowess. Zone will also protect Stanford's front line, who UNM exposed on both ends. The 9:15am tip time really sucks. More anti-West Coast from the committee.
Looking back: Not sure that Stanford won as much as UNM lost. Great defense down the stretch but beyond the first 10 minutes the offense looked completely out of sorts, which I fail to understand since it's three juniors and four seniors who played all but 10 of the total 200 minutes. By now they should be able to execute plays against ANY defense, but especially man & 2-3 zone which is all UNM played for nearly the entire game.
