The Stanford Cardinal are back and ranked No. 2 ahead of the 2020-21 basketball season. Expectations are high and with the Cardinal leading the way, the Pac-12 has been dubbed a superconference this season with hopes of placing multiple teams as top seeds in the eventual 2021 NCAA Tournament.
Head coach Tara VanDerveer is just four wins shy of history and matching the legendary Pat Summitt for all-time wins while the Cardinal themselves have been picked as preseason favorite to win the Pac-12.
Marking the first time they’ve been selected to win the conference since 2014-15, the returning core for the Cardinal are as strong as they ever have been.
