They were talking about UCLA's bracket as "brutal". Um... if the seeds hold, UCLA gets the winner of Duke vs. LSU. Not both, One of them. And their 4 seed is Minnesota. Pretty basic. UCLA was either getting Vandy or LSU. Frankly I prefer Vandy, and as the top overall seed, that makes sense to...

Crash Heckel and Bulldozer Blanca - love it!

Kind of shocking since she's 3rd in her own class. I do get that a part of the rankings have to do with potential so maybe ESPN feels Hall and Edwards have more upside... But regardless, congrats to all 3 finalists especially Olivia who has already committed to UConn. Now let's get the other 2!!!

Pretty solid - not a great start to the 2nd half, but 3 guys in double figures and 4 more with 9 points each. Nice to see everyone contributing! On to the next round!!! The announcers said at one point that Pitino Jr. was going to build the program into something special - do folks here agree...

Would they? By what logic do you make that bold claim? The players still have a NCAA tourney to play in. I'm not arguing that players may be leaving - I hope a bunch do. I'd love it even more if Edwards decided not to bother and opted for another school. A total train wreck crashing and burning...

I wouldn't say that their schedule was only "just a little tougher". UCLA played 19 Quad 1 games, losing 1. UConn played 9, obviously losing zero. UCLA played 6 Quad 4 games. UConn played 12. One could argue the metrics are flawed as to how they calculate the Quad designation for games, but...

I think it would be a tremendous sign of disrespect. Just like last season, UConn "earning" a 2-seed - that was wrong by any eye-test logic. But the committee was committed to the metrics, most importantly it seemed, Quad 1 wins. This year it seems all the hype we hear about is the "NET...

Hard to nitpick any of those choices. Glad Cambridge and Olsen got some love. Well deserved for Sarah and Azzi. Also congrats to shea as COY. Well deserved reward for her. I really do hope it results in some great recruiting wins in the next cycle.

At one point, early on when Mohegan Sun started hosting, a few people were critical of the venue as they are opposed to gambling. It was pointed out often that it's possible to get in and out avoiding gambling areas (is this true? I've only been a few times and don't recall), but I was wondering...

So happy for Ines. I'm not sure if she started all season - based on the stats vs. Oregon State, it looks like she may be a shooting guard.

I gotta give it to KK. She should get MOP for the tourney too. I know Sarah and Azzi will get a ton of national awards, but would love for KK to get some recognition.

Well that was fun! Congrats to the team on a well-deserved Big East Championship. 2 quick things at the end of the game. Classy - UConn taking a shot clock violation with 36 seconds left giving the ball back to Villanova with 6 seconds left. Not classy - Villanova running down the floor and...

Didn't Jovana play with Olivia on a national team recently? But I looked it up and Jovana is Serbian while Olivia and Nika are Croatian? Dumb question I'm sure, but is Jovana not eligible to play on the Croatian team?

It's so hard to compare a game that was #12 for both teams in the season (UConn vs. Iowa) vs. the very last game of the regular season in a conference championship game. Plus, UCLA was en fuego from 3 going 13-26 - a whopping 50% shooting. They don't shoot like that every game. Still, UCLA had...

BTW the crowd looked pretty awesome. Looked like a full house which is cool for a women's hockey game, even if a conference championship one. Glad to see women's hoops isn't the only women's sport that gets a nice following/crowd...
