I think the Paige criticism is a little unfair. Most of the big games you reference were early in the season when Paige was still getting back into the game she hadn't played in a year and a half.
If Paige can play like a NPOY candidate and AE play like an AA I definitley think they can beat Ohio State and get to the elite 8 and ..Except for LSU who has Morrow and Reese Uconn is the only other school that has 2 AA on it's roster.If they play like AA they can beat anyone..Look at last year and what Clark did to bring Iowa to the championship game..Paige doesn't have to match that but if she comes close and Edwards keeps playing like she has they have a good chance to get to the FF,so yes they have a high ceiling
I agree, and more importantly I think that they knew UConn fans already bought tickets in Albany and that Clark fans would buy the rest. It's a win win for the NCAA. Albany was already low on tickets (Easter Sunday had the most available) and prices on Ticketmaster are crazy right now.
Yes, if UCONN wins the first round, then Syracuse is the potential second round matchup. And it is indeed scary to think that they beat ND twice, while UConn lost to them (ND) in the game played in Storrs. However, had Nika not been in foul trouble, I believe the Huskies would've won that game. At one point they were up by 12 points, and while Notre Dame's point guard, Hidalgo, played well in the first half, she whipped the Huskies' butt when Nika fouled out. During one timeout, I vividly remember reading Niele Ivey's lips when she told her team to "Stay on 5......." So with Nika out of the game, and "5" (Paige) being bodied up, Hidalgo was free to do her thing. It was beautiful to see, but I didn't want that show against my favorite team.
All session pass is $400 for the cheap seats, box office tickets were only $150 but sell out fast. If people don't get them early, many are priced out. Ticketmaster is now at least double the price for each seat, some more so.
I would love to see this matchup because:
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Troy is very good and very filling.
Yes you sold them too cheap. I wish I was able to get tickets in the lower bowl, some are listed over a thousand.... TicketMaster is cheaper and has more tickets than Seat Geek. It took me hours to figure out how to list them on TicketMaster.
Paid almost $800 for 4 tix…took about 2 minutes to sell on stub hub.I have six all session tickets. I decided not to resell them and leave them as empty seats. Imagine if all UConn fans who bought Albany tickets did that. The Albany games would be played in from of half empty seats. I am happier with the Portland draw -- I just wanted that draw in Albany.
I won't be surprised to see either Arizona or Auburn upset Syracuse. For Arizona, Jada Williams is fiery, and her high school teammate, Breya Cunningham, is an excellent post player.
oopppsss sorry....someone responded and I responded back. I did not notice I was on the wrong board.
Having seen Syracuse play a lot this year, although they are a good team, I will say that they tend to play much better at home versus on the road. Yes, they did beat Notre Dame twice, and that does make me nervous, but I will say that Syracuse has also had some really ugly games and a few ugly losses. They have a tendency to go really cold, not unlike UConn, but they don’t have quite the same smothering defense that UConn does.
Yes, see my post #117Was anyone else annoyed that the announcer kept referring to All-bany as Al-bany?
Stop it and Get Smart.Don't forget Petticoat Junction.
It has already gone up to UCONN (-34.5).
You can at least make some money selling them although I understand the disappointment as I have tickets as well. The Caitlin effect has prices soaring. Enough to cover airfare to Portland?

Yes. I watched the show in Syracuse while with my daughter’s family. Eye rolls all around. And as someone else mentioned, that was followed up by butchering Holy Cross.Was anyone else annoyed that the announcer kept referring to All-bany as Al-bany?
Delmonico's has great steak and Italian food. Lake George is a nice drive from Albany. Lots to do if you look for it.
