USA Today: Real travesty of Baylor's loss is it came in a matchup with UConn that should have been women's title game

This was a planned attempt to get UCONN eliminated before Final Four.

I don't doubt that you are right, while we will never know for sure, you gotta believe Baylor feels the same way.

Another conspiracy theory? But I see where you are coming from.

I find a lot of what the women's committee has done to be a mystery. I don't doubt they would stumble all over themselves trying to answer your query, spouting nonsense. That said I would not trade places with Stanford at this point, we got through their trap game with Baylor. Do we now have a better match up with Az, it would appear so, we will know very soon. I look forward to the first game tomorrow almost as much as I look forward to our game

I'm quite confident of our ability to beat AZ even without Nika. I am way less confident we could beat Stanford without her. And I'd rather not have to play SCar without her. As I think you are saying, each of the teams in the other bracket are going to have to beat two very good teams to be champs. Probably that's the way it should be.

I can understand the outrage of this being a Regional Final, but I find it insulting referring to this as "the real Championship Game." There's absolutely nothing that indicates to me Baylor is better than both Stanford and South Carolina.

The article did back off a bit and added - or at least the final four. I don't think it was intended to be a knock on any of the final 4 participants but rather a knock on the seeding. Poorly worded perhaps, but to me it was the thought that counted.

In no way was this the real championship game, in paying respect to the Baylor team and reality it was in all respects to me a game worthy of what we would hope a championship game looks and feels like.
