From our Rule of Tree Preview:
"Thursday's tilt could go one of two ways. Back to back embarrassing losses may have finally lit an inferno under Stanford's collective derriere, and hence the Cardinal emerge stronger, determined and cohesive in perhaps their toughest game of the still young season. That's the ideal scenario. However, it's more likely that Stanford's inexperience and still developing team chemistry are no match for a more mature Villanova squad that spots an opponent's weaknesses early and exploits them to no end.
Stanford vs. Villanova tips off Thursday at 1:30pm Pacific time on ESPN2. The tournament's first game features the Arkansas Razorbacks versus the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Both the consolation and championship games are slated for Friday."
