Syracuse vs South Carolina, Stanford vs Notre Dame

I thought SC was the most vulnerable 1 seed. I don't think anyone called this, especially after they barely advanced.
 
What a night in Women's basketball. Some great games tonight. I hope the Huskies are getting good rest and are ready to go tomorrow.
 
Stanford basically pulled a "Stanford vs. UConn" against Notre Dame. Hitting difficult shots whenever they needed them, along with some out of sorts play from their opponent.

What a crazy women's tourney.

Well the Cardinal can score. That means they definitely have what it takes to take down UConn. Words of wisdom from here on out - be careful what you wish for.

Idk if I bumped my head last night sleeping but I think if Syracuse can keep this a 1 or 2 possession game for at least 2 and a half qtrs they will pull of the upset. Im a fan of their coaching style. I think Tara reminds everyone why she is Tara tonight. Stanford needs a signature win and I think they get it tonight.

Oh and I like rooting for the underdog :p

Did you happen to buy lottery tickets today also? Well done.

The most important reason the ND loss is good for... UConn - no home court advantage. It is a neutral court at the final four.

I hadn't thought of that bit. But yes. That's big. It might be nice if FSU knocks off Baylor. OK, but I can dream, anyway.
 
Washington, who has a chance to make their first Final Four I believe, against Stanford who was a very up and down team. Quite a surprising night for sure. I'm quite impressed with Stanford. They had two games where they couldn't even reach 40 points yet they have a chance at making it to the Final Four again. Credit to Tara. She knows how to prepare her team come March...

If by chance UConn and Stanford meet in this tournament, I'm hoping they've got their "crazy good game of the year" out of their system by then. :D

But UConn had best put out good efforts from here on out. Every remaining team is going to look at today's results and say, "Why not us?"
 
Good news for Vols fans: you get to enjoy having Warlick as your head coach for the next decade!

They only need 2 more to reach us in the finals.

But that's the thing. The Cardinal have been having trouble all year scoring (68 ppg, 42% FG, 36% 3FG). Tonight they were phenomenal, but they have not been a good offensive team this year. Some of their scoring was due to an excellent game plan by Tara. I believe that Muffet was outcoached tonight. But Stanford played so well, they certainly deserve a ton of credit.
 
Tara had her team prepared for the tourney, that's for sure. AT least prepared for ND. Her team is young. No graduating seniors are starters. She pushed all the right buttons, not even winning the PAC 12 tourney...

So did Syracuse Stanford just pull off the biggest tournament upset since Louisville beat Baylor? Not that tonight's upset is anywhere near the magnitude that Louisville's win was, obviously, but I can't recall offhand one this large happening since then.

Surely this is what this poster meant to say earlier.

Tennessee beat Syracuse, 57-55, in Knoxville.

Not anywhere the team Syracuse is now, and the young guards for Tennessee have not seen the kind of pressure they will see Sunday.
 
Not to count our chickens or anything... but... wouldn't it be cool to have a Huskies vs Huskies Championship game with two squads located on opposite ends of the country? With the fans all merging in the center of the country (well sort of center) in Indy?

I think you're forgetting that we play defense pretty good. We're pretty good at basketball. :rolleyes:
 
Ooooh weeeeee....Big guns went down tonight....And look at lil Tennessee. I didn't even see them getting past the second round.

Goes to show you...The regular season is the regular season. But anything can happen in the tournament.
And the refs tried to help ND with them dumb calls in the 4th

Um. I'd say Tennessee is a little different too.
 
ASU tried to play pressure against Tennessee and you see how that worked out. If Syracuse cannot control the paint and Mercedes Russell has another game like she had tonight it won't go well for Syracuse.
