Championship Quality

What say you?

 

[Baylor1994]

Baylor, Maryland, Stanford and UConn are my picks. Sucks that Baylor and UConn have to eliminate each other in the elite 8

If they eliminate each other something has gone painfully wrong.

 

[DefenseBB]

I would say UConn, Stanford, Baylor and Maryland at this point in the conversation. SC is on the outside looking in based on the inconsistency of their guard play.
Then the longer shots of NC State, Texas A&M who need to up their games to prove they belong back in the conversation.

I was thinking UConn, Stanford, Baylor, MD and Texas A&M all have the resume.

One of these is not like the others.... imo

Is a team needing multiple questionable calls by the refs to Squeeze out a 4 point victory over a 15 Seed a clue?

 

[bballnut90]

Any of the top 7 can win it all IMO. NC State and A&M havent looked great but when they play well they can be great. Maryland/Baylor have looked the best through 2 rounds though. Maryland's offense is unstoppable and Baylor is a completely different team with Egbo playing at a high level.

Queen and moon is the key! How fun would it be to see Maryland and Baylor in the championship game. Best defense vs best offense

I hate it for State but it would surprise me to see them get to the Final 4 if Jones remains out with her injury.

If you were counting Louisville, time to recount. 87 kinds of butt ugly performance against a pedestrian opponent.

They're back ahead but I can't see them winning. Not good enough on either offense or defense.

 

[dtbtbtb]

it will be shocking for me if (based on the games this tournament so far) the Champion is not UConn, Baylor, Maryland or Stanford.

 

[shiverz45]

I hope SC get the opportunity to play Maryland. I don't know if SC will win but the way Maryland plays will allow SC to get out and run as well. Maryland also has not played a team that defends like SC or as athletic.

 

[Adriacus]

Calling it now:

Bracket Side 1: Stanford v. Maryland in Final Four.
Bracket Side 2: UConn v. Baylor in Elite 8

Championship Game: features winner of those two games

Remaining Schools: bracket fodder

I went with 8 teams.
UConn, Stanford, Texas, Louisville, NC State, Maryland, Baylor, and South Carolina. Texas is my surprise pick. New season during the tournament. All about peaking at the right time. That Texas team is on the rise at the right time.

Texas has two players that would get playing time for UConn.
And Collier [one of the two] is the Invisible Woman in big games.

But they do have a great endowment.

Maryland - South Carolina would be an interesting game. On the surface, it appears South Carolina has no one who can guard Owusu. Maryland has no one to guard Boston. South Carolina have talented and fast guards but they are small. Maryland have a ton of talented forwards in the starting lineup and on the bench. If Maryland shoot the ball as well as they did in the first two tournament games, South Carolina has no chance. 98 and 100 points.

It will be interesting to see how Maryland shoots in the Alamodome; it's a totally different situation than St. Mary's.

Not so much.

I believe Maryland played their first game in the Alamodome.
