Week 18 - Championship Week! (schedules thru 3/8)

UCLA made a strong case for the number one overall seed. Apparently they even kept their starters in late to make sure they poured it on (that’s what I hear anyway).

Beating a 2 seed by 51 points is a pretty solid statement for the overall #1.
Equal intrigue with the 3rd and 4th #1s -- if Texas wins, do they move ahead of SC?

I would say no. But in the past committee’s have liked to reward teams for winning their conference tournaments.

They don't have many bench options to go to. They were cycling out some starters throughout the 4th quarter. You heard wrong.

This isn't college football. Stop pushing the point spread crap.
 
Portland made a run, but Oregon St. pulled away in Q4 in a WCC quarterfinal. Big game for Lizzy Williamson 20/16.

Iowa is a good team, right? UCLA is utterly dismantling them.

I still believe they are, even after this game. Definitely a bizarre game as Iowa doesn't typically have a hard time scoring like they did in the first. Stuelke getting only 4 touches the entire game, when does that ever happen? Feuerbach going 0-5 from the field for the second day in a row is also surprising.

Stuelke didn't look right sometimes during the game to me. She's great at running the floor on both ends. Today, she didn't have that same burst/speed.
 
My main takeaway from the Texas SC game: Kyla Oldacre has improved her athleticism by a lot. She is chasing down long rebounds and loose balls, beating smaller players to the ball. I’m impressed. You go, big girl.
 
Air Force is about to stun San Diego St. in a Mountain West quarterfinal. I don't think SDSU is gonna get an at large berth, so this isn't a bid stealing event going on.

edit--hold on a sec; up 8 w/ a minute left seemed pretty safe, but Aztecs are making a frantic run

Didnt see the whole game, but SC pretty listless
Surprised TX won and even more surprised that it was never within (10)?
 
Okay rally thwarted, Air Force knocks out #1 seed and prohibitive favorite San Diego St.
 
Merrimack kept it close for a quite a while, but Fairfield ended up winning handily. Sets up the showdown we want, Fairfield vs. Quinnipiac Round 3, winner takes all.

I see others agree that there is nothing better than a Chicken dinner on a Sunday afternoon

"Pushing"? WTF does that mean. Newsflash, the committee doesn't consult me so I'm not "pushing" this to anyone.

Let me guess, you're one of those 'fans" who yells at Charlie Creme for trying to predict what the committee will do.

Of course dominating a quality opponent matters. Will it be enough to move to UCLA to 1? I dont know. But whatever the probablity, it's higher than it was this morning.

No I'm one of those fans who despises the gambling mentality in the seeding process. Point spreads come from gamblers. You can see how that has stripped sportsmanship from competition. It is most prevalent in College football.

Will today's results completely rearrange the committee's projected #1 seeds? Hmm.

Unfortunately we won't know for another week. It's a good time to take a break and catch up on some reading.

What are we talking about? UCLA won by 51, UConn won by 49, but only UCLA was running up the score?

Who knows, however I saw this and thought, huh, thinking points scored might nudge them to the top?

I think it's fair to say UConn is a deeper team than UCLA. Off the bench the Bruins play Dugalic and the younger Betts regularly. The rest, not so much. UCLA particularly lacking depth at guard. Bilic is listed as a guard, but she's not really a ballhandler/playmaker, so they pretty much have to have Rice or Leger-Walker on the floor at all times.
