Keys to the Game for Stanford
- Maxime Raynaud: Stanford can win the game as they Maxime Raynaud. The team needs to feed Maxime Raynaud and boost his confidence so Maxime can utilize his skills to his advantage and help his team win.
- Maintain a good offensive flow: Stanford needs to train his team to maintain a good flow throughout the game. The players must know when and where they are not scoring and must avoid scoring droughts of 3+ minutes if they are to secure a win.
- Defend the perimeter: Stanford must work on its defenders and prepare them to defend Virginia Tech's 3-point shooters, on which Virgina places its trust. A good and deep defence from Stanford limits Virginia's scoring opportunities and makes Stanford victorious.
