Message: [QUOTE="Gamecockfan77, post: 2623702, member: 6414"] South Carolina played who earned the right to face them. Pretty rare that a team faces the stiffest challenge possible. Pretty rare that you'd consider losing an all conference starter to be a blessing, but I guess it wasn't a blessing for anyone else that suffered it. For the record, I don't think Notre Dame was all that good last year with or without Brianna Turner. UConn is no stranger to good luck, even last year: UConn played a 10 seed in the Regional Final and then luckily drew a two seed in the Final Four it inexplicably could not beat. The previous year they played a four seed in the title game. The year before that the lowest seed line they faced in the regional was a 5. the year before that they faced a 9 a 12, a 3, and a 2. UConn rarely gets challenged so I don't know that it mattered that much though. [/QUOTE]
