We had our first chance to see Stanford and Candice Wiggins yesterday. Mizzou hung tough for awhile, but the Cardinal pulled away and won with ease.

Wiggins looks pretty impressive. A fast, tall guard who crashes the boards and plays aggressive defense -- I love it. In yesterday's game, she appeared to have one weakness: she's not a very good passer, in part because she seems to be focused on scoring, not passing. But at only 17 years old (!), she'll certainly have plenty of time to work on that.

Stanford has some good things going, power inside and solid guard play, which will get even better once Susan Borchardt returns from her injury. I don't believe that they're the second best team in the country, but they'll have a chance to convince me when they play in Knoxville on Tuesday.
