Trojans vs Spartans. It was ever thus. From ancient times to now.
They have to go back to campus for classes in between.
I see what you did there.

Spartans vs Trojans. Seems like one must consume souvlaki whilst watching to be culturally appropriate..
The last time that Geno had 7 or 8 players deep that
could be starters was 2015-2016 with Collier and Gabby coming off the bench.
The other years possible starters were injured or not good enough.
You aren't kidding.
Florida State (at home)
NC State (Spokane)
UCLA (Spokane)
if seeding holds... (feels like playing three #2 seeds in a row, just to get to USC/UConn & SC/TX)
...but, they played and beat NC St earlier, and beat UCLA last year.
They match up well with NC State.
SC/TX games have them prepped for UCLA.
Hailey Van Lith will take the Cardinals for a nice campus tour and coffee pre game after morning shootaround.
Hailey Van Lith gets plenty of often undeserved grief. While at Louisville, she completed her bs in Finance, graduating summa cum laude.6/23 During her year at LSU, she completed an MBA. 8/24.
At TCU she is working on another Masters.
Pretty good example of student athlete.

I'm happy with the bracket, our sideand the others.
Don't like to see Dawn complaints when she seems to have the easiest path to the Final Four.
Would like to see the NCAA introduce a rule that no conference could have more than 7 teams in the bracket, that would still left the P4 with more than a third of the field and let deserving mid majors have a chance for the postseason.
Don't like the play-in games, let's get back to 64 teams.

With Lee returning, it's a pretty daunting #5 seed to draw. The Stags did play against OSU and Magassa (losing by 2 on the road), so they do have some experience against a 6'6" C. She was effective, but not overly impactful. I know Lee is a much better player, but it's not wholly uncharted territory. Hope she's a little rusty and make her at least shoot the ball vs. layups. I don't think I'd double her. That could just lead to a rain of open 3PA. On the other end, play fast and hope running her up and down the court leads to open shots and maybe gets her off the court, too.
It's house money for Fairfield. I'd love for CTD to lure in an athletic P4-type 6'3"+ forward for next season. I think that's kind of the missing ingredient they need to be more versatile and dangerous to top-30ish teams.
Actually, an interesting wager would be the total over/ under for the game. The number is 148 points.Damn! I should have got by bet in on the Huskies when the line was only -37.
This game might stay under because Arkansas State will be stifled by UCONN's relentless defense. So the Huskies would have to score well over 100 points to surpass the 148 line.
