No. 1 Stanford knew early on that its matchup with No. 8 Ole Miss could be tougher than the seeding indicated. But it tried to set the tone at the pre-game press conference on Saturday.
“Some teams look at us and think, Oh, like, the nice girls from Stanford,” said junior guard Agnes Emma-Nnopu. “We've got to go out there with the mentality that we're not going to let people walk into our home, go into our fridge, take our drinks, sit on our couch, turn on our TV.”
Ole Miss walked into Stanford’s Maples Pavilion, took every single drink out of that metaphorical fridge and settled in for an upset win.
