The Stanford Cardinal and the Tennessee Lady Vols will meet tomorrow for the 34th time in a series that began in 1988.
The meeting between these storied rivals is always a big game and that's especially so this season.
The Cardinal is coming off a two-week finals break and needs this quality win to establish a strong position in the Pac-12. Tara says, "... not ideal scheduling, but it’s what we’ve got. We’ve been practicing well. I think we’ll play well.”

To date, there hasn't been enough on Tennessee's resume to warrant a spot in the top 25. Charlie Creme (espnW) says, "Sunday's visit from the Cardinal is as big as any mid-December game can be."
Holly Warlick says, "Stanford is going to test us in every way. We’re going to see if we’re up to the challenge."
