Message: [QUOTE="Undercovervol, post: 3035092, member: 8552"] I still think Notre Dame is a top 3 team. They had inconsistent play last year and still won the title. Come tourney time, because of their balance and guard play, I don't see them losing before the FF. Oregon was extremely impressive yesterday (albeit with Stanford looking dead tired and defeated after about 5 mins). Sabrina is the best guard in the country. I'd have them at #2. Baylor might be over ranked. They haven't played the toughest schedule. However, defensively I haven't seen a better team. Their man defense is extremely impressive. Offensively there are questions--forcing the ball into the post, lack of outside shooting. However, Lauren Cox keeps their offense going well for most possessions. I'd still have Baylor at #1, but Oregon matches up well with them, and I'd maybe pick Oregon in that game. For the rest of the teams: Louisville 4, UConn 5, Miss State 6. Miss State keeps claiming their underrated, but I don't see that: lack of outside shooting will hold this team back in the tournament. McCowan doesn't always work hard in the post (she stands for offensive rebounds without posting up. Not a terrible tactic, but not the best all the time) and can get frustrated easily while not having the best offensive game. Also, Vic has shown that in big games, sometimes, he doesn't have an answer, and his team can reflect that. [/QUOTE]
