None!!! Iowa already proved that. The entire league is over rated, at least in Womens Basketball. Anyone who picks Michigan is a fool.

Not to pick a fight... SC has not been as impressive as everyone made them out to be I think NC could beat them... I think Stanford should have been the overall #1. I wonder if that would have changed anything had they been the overall 1 or if everything would have been the same regardless...

Both teams you mention have had their shots at SC. They failed. That has a little to do with rankings and seedings.

I agree SC has not been playing their best basketball and if they don't pick it up they can lose to NC. However, SC had the better resume and they beat Stanford. There is not a metric that said Stanford should have gotten the number one overall seed over SC. Against teams in the sweet 16: SC have wins over Maryland, UConn, Stanford, NC State, Tennessee, and South Dakota(6-0). Stanford is 3-2 against teams that made the sweet sixteen. SC is 4-0 against the regular season final top 10. Stanford is 0-2.

Lest we forget, UNC struggled BIG TIME with SFA in the first round. SFA would have finished near the bottom of the SEC, and we all know what SC did with those teams.

Maybe wait for the league to get wiped out this second weekend because because no league had a better record in the first weekend.

Yeah.... and NC fans will be outnumbered by a great deal at home. Predicting about 4,000 SC fans..... 1,000 Big Carolina fans.... 7 salty Duke fans rooting for SC.

Sorry, Triaddukefan, I know Wake doesn't have the passionate relationship with UNC that Dookies do, but I've got to root for Carolina and the ACC against SC and the SEC...

I love Duke fans. Their rivals get no days off. Duke fans are on some next level...the enemy of my enemy thingy. lol
 
South Carolina - Iowa State

Louisville - South Dakota

Stanford - Texas

UConn - Notre Dame

Thought I'd be the outlier picking South Dakota, but I see quite a few have picked the Yotes. I hope I don't have to be embarrassed/take heat over picking Notre Dame, they just looked really good the other night.

You don’t have to root for anyone, UNC is just better than SC.

I would love to see Creighton and South Dakota win as well but Cinderella probably is not going to find her slipper. I really feel like Notre Dame is going to win but the numbers say it's 50/50. You can be hot as a firecracker one game and not able to hit the rim the next. I do give Notre Dame the edge. I think Maryland / Stanford will be close. There is no reason why North Carolina should win but it's a great rivalry and if NC shoots 3's well and SC goes cold? Anything could happen with any of these games. Rori Harmon is the biggest sleeper in this tournament. I don't think Texas makes it past Stanford but I think they beat Ohio State. Louisville over Tennessee is a no brainer, which means it probably is the big upset!

By what measure?

Not saying SCar is a lock to win, just wondering what you base this assertion of "is just better" on. fact on.

I take exception to the term “fool”. As an equine, I believe “jackass” would be more apt. Michigan has UConn slayer Kim Barnes Arico as their coach and that is the only edge they need.

KBA didn’t help her team much when they were blown out by Louisville and Iowa, also lost to Nebraska twice, 1st game was a blowout, 2nd game was better but they still lost. Your logic is impeccable. South Dakota is really really good, miracles can happen, but I doubt it.

I'd agree with all your picks, but South Dakota and Creighton I'd like to see win, but wouldn't bet on!

Bet on South Dakota to win, it’s easy money. I think they will lose in the Final to UConn but bet the ranch they make the Final Four.
