I agree Phil.............USF has given everybody fits. They could slip in if Louisville and UConn aren't careful and take them lightly.

I think they could spring a surprise or 2 in the NCAA's if they make it.

I think its fair to say you can mail this one in - there are two teams showing up Monday & we all know who they are.

USF seems to be playing well at the right time.

Good point, Phil. They gave Louisville a good game when they played at USF. I think they only lost by 5 (?). If they get running and Williams and Inga are hitting, Loiusville could get a bit of a surprise. Not entirely likely, but possible! Can Lousville run for 40 minutes is a question. They couldn't on Monday night.

USF also gave Notre Dame a hard time last year, including in the BET.

I like USF and you are all correct, if they get hot from 3 land, look out......Mohegan is a friendly shooting arena.......Unlike the XL........How much impat does the Monday night loss to UCONN take out of Louisville?.........

If Louisville's focus is a rematch with Uconn, they could be taken down by USF.

Fernandez's teams are scrappy. They don't give up and keep coming at you. And they can play defense. They will not be intimidated by Louisville's physical type of play.

If they are hot fro three land, Louisville could be watching the finals.

Possibly USF. Rutgers maybe. But I think Louisville v. UConn is close to 90% probability.

Oh dear, you bit on it. Rutgers would need to beat UConn to get to the championship game, so I think that "maybe" might get you a tarring and feathering here.

The USF forward (not the blonde) was hot on Monday night. She was hitting mid-range jumpers right and left in the first half.

Rutgers was trying to drive the middle and forced it too much. Scaiffe should have taken what they were giving her and pulled up.

Rutgers did come back and get within three at the end of the game but couldn't finish.

I see Louisville and UCONN in the finals.

No other teams will beat Uconn or Louisville in the tournament. The gap is too large. The other teams were 0 and 36 against the two teams.

I remember a team from WV that took down the mighty RU at the XL when UCONN nation was making the XL into a WV home game minus the Musket fire....but, the 2 top seeds look like another rematch come Monday..I am very interested in seeing the crowds this weekend...Will any games sellout?

I can see USF beating Louisville in the semi finals and reaching the championship game. They play very hard and when a team does that anything can happen.
