In both the men’s and women’s tournament… I think one of the semifinal games is the true championship game.

U are nutz. Any of the 4 are more than capable of winning it all.

Not following you here. This is a Final Four semi-final match up this Friday.

I think they're saying those are the two best teams like Mich and Arizona are for the men.

So I should be watching the game instead of playing on the internet. Here I am complaining about lack of competitive games and TCU is hanging right in there.

Are we really trying to test out the jinx tonight? 😉

You got me. I owe it to TCU to give them a fighting chance, by not watching.

I agree. I just think Texas and ucla are slightly better.

I do think based on current form, Texas is playing better than the other teams.

Or just not making mid game proclamations! I feel like we've been over this a dozen times... And now SCAR up 8 at the half. So Dawn thanks you!

Vowelguy · 2026-03-30T22:02:25-0400

TCU hung tough but let it get away at the end of the half. SC now up 8. It’s over.

Kindly direct any ire to @nwhoopfan. We have time stamps to confirm when the jinx went into effect. 😉

Great season TCU. 👏

nwhoopfan · 2026-03-30T22:11:52-0400

Dang it. I think I've managed to avoid jinxing stuff up til now in the Tourney.

Titles since Covid: UConn vs SC
Titles before Geo HW Bush presidency: UCLA v Texas

Tcu stays connected but SC dominates last 3 mins of qtr again

My guess is that TCU is slightly winning the first 7 mins of each qtr but SC is blowing them out the last 3

Stagnant · 2026-03-30T22:41:45-0400

not south Carolina’s best performance. They are playing the game at tcu’s pace. And TCU is a giant team. I think South Carolina should try to run them a little.

First 7 minutes: TCU 34-30
Last 3 mins SC 19-7

Based on E8 games, I think ND was under ranked and Michigan was (somewhat) over ranked.

JDuro · 2026-03-30T23:31:04-0400

Surprised UConn/Carolina is the early FF game Friday.

Then again it is the L.A. TV market they’re considering and one of the largest states in the other matchup.

Not surprising at all - two EDT schools in the first game and a PDT and CDT in the second. Makes much more sense to have the West Coast-teams-oriented game go second.

JellyBean · 2026-03-30T23:37:38-0400

Love it!! We got the four best teams ready to slug it out, again, for the Title. All number 1 Seeds. First time since 2018. I can't wait for Friday!!

The amount of physicality SEC teams usually get away with is pretty wild to say the least.

Can only assume it has been so long you don’t remember playing Geno in March.

Women's Volleyball Final Four has a rule that the #1 overall seed automatically gets the early match of the double-header. Don't think any other college sport employs that.

Add a certain folksy, cornpone coach to that sec business and you might as well be playing on an octagonal court.

Sadly we are generally on receiving end of it this year.

To find a team who fouls more than 26 Texas, you’d have to rebuild the Riley Knicks.

Okay, same 4 teams in the Final 4 two years in a row. That ain't cool. Cannot happen again next year. Need at least 2 of them to step down. UCLA already volunteered by graduating their entire team. Need at least one of the other 3 to not make it to the FF next season.

Texas is by far the most dangerous team for UCONN to face in the tournament. They're demolishing a very good Michigan team while having their 2nd scorer shooting just 2-16 from the floor.

I found Michigan to be inconsistent...even within a game and for substantial stretches. I think they lose their concentration. Swords is streaky. They are better by a mile than the way they played tonight.

bbfanLA · 2026-03-31T00:53:12-0400

I believe this is the second time that the same four teams made the Final Four two years in a row, the first being 1995-96. Kind of fun fact: Both times included UConn; a former Pac-12 team (Stanford then/UCLA now); and two SEC teams (Georgia and Tennessee then/South Carolina and Texas now).

In 1996 they the rematch of 1995's championship in the semis which is the same scenario this year.

Good luck with that dream lol.

-UCONN is still UCONN
-South Carolina has made it 6x in a row now and is showing no signs of slowing down
-Texas is also stacked next year with Madison Booker back as a senior.

I see Duke, Michigan, Vandy and USC fighting it out for the last spot. Maybe LSU if Kim can get a quality big.
