Catching up on some of these games last night.
UCLA/Texas-Not going to read too much into this game other than a slow start by UCLA hurt them. Being down 23 points hurt plus only going 6 deep is not good either. Coach Close will rally this team into shape. Now if they lose to Duke, then alarms will start to go off but this was a heavyweight match and somebody had to lose.
Ohio State/West VA-That was a fun game. Both teams are sneaky good and I always love when anyone beats Ohio State, so I was rooting for West Virginia in this one. Sadly WVA gave the game away.
South Carolina/Duke-It is going to be a long season for Duke. On paper they look good and then they play the games, and you are like "Oh my". Coach Lawson has her hands full this season.
Michigan/Detroit-I have been following Michigan since I was 14 (1984) and Minnesota, this is Michigan most balanced team ever. Coach KBA has a well-balanced team. During the Naz era, it was all Naz, which was awesome. Naz Hillmon was a beast at Michigan. She put that program on the map, but it was give the ball to Naz and everyone else get out of the way. This team Coach KBA has is balanced. They have the very talented Sword and Olson but now Michigan has a confident Holloway, a healthy Delfosse, tough as nails Ashley Sofilkanich, and Macy Brown giving additional guard help. Michigan is going to make some noise in the Big Ten this season and hopefully a few more years. This team has talent.
