NCAA women’s final

at St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa, Fla.

* Stanford (35-3) vs. Tennessee (35-2), 5:30 p.m., PDT, ESPN -- Plenty of attention is being paid to the Candice vs. Candace showdown, but there will be plenty of other talent on the floor. Stanford senior guard Candice Wiggins is averaging 27.4 points in five tournament games, the highest of any player in the tournament. But the second-seeded Cardinal also has one of the better back-to-the-basket post players in center Jayne Appel, who is averaging 20.2 points and 9.8 rebounds in the tournament. Tennessee’s star Candace Parker has the experience of playing in this game last season but has been slowed by a left shoulder injury. The top-seeded Lady Vols will count on senior guards Alexis Hornbuckle (10.2 ppg) and Shannon Bobbitt (8.4 ppg) to pick up some scoring slack.
