Don't expect any news on junior guard Lorin Dixon's strained left hamstring for a couple of days.

Dixon was not made available to the media despite a request to bring her into the post-game press conference but UConn coach Geno Auriemma addressed Dixon's situation after the game.

"I am assuming that things like that last more than just two or three days so I don't know if she is going to play Saturday or not, if she is not practicing, she is not playing," Auriemma said. "Caroline was used to starting before her season ended last year, maybe that's what we will do. Come Wednesday's and Thursday's practice, we'll throw people out there and see what happens. if it something real serious, it is going to take a long time but we probably won't know anything for the next couple of days."

Vanguard coach Russ Davis, who played against both No. 2 Stanford and No. 1 UConn in a brutal preseason schedule, proclaimed UConn as the better team.

"I think the difference between them right now is their intensity level is the highest intensity level we have seen so far and we have seen pretty good intensity levels," Davis said. "You see (Kaili) McLaren diving (after the ball) up 30 and Maya's playing like it's a Final Four game, she doesn't care. That is how they play, that is why they are who they are. You can tell they are proud of what the jersey says in front. They have great players and that is great coaching to get them to play at that level, that is what Geno does best.

"Stanford's pretty dang big, they can go big across the floor but so can UConn but they don't have any Maya Moore's over there, somebody who can take the game over at any moment. Their people who do that are in the post. If you are asking me who is better, UConn is better. It is a higher level, they are two great teams. I don't know who else is out there but it is hard for me to imagine there are two better teams in the country."
