This could be part of the push to make UCLA the #1 overall seed (which I think they should be) over UCONN. It hurts UCONN for their schedule as their conference is so weak. Makes it seem the win was over a higher ranked team so a + for UCLA.

The Big East sucks but UConn still had nine Quad 1 games. UCLA played 19 of them though. Crazy SOS and went 18-1 in those games. Will be interesting to see if UConn can flip a switch by the time they reach the Sweet Sixteen and have to play a ranked team. They have not played a team that is currently ranked since they played Iowa in December.
No….honestly I do not like UCONN much, but seriously how do you drop them. And they are traditionally the media darling, UCLA is not.
If things play out it will make for a good finals game. Both teams are loaded.
Nobody is beating UCONN - I believe Sarah Strong will be the next 4X National Champion and displace Dianna T or Brianna S as the greatest Husky of the Geno era. Strong’s mother was multi-time All American at Harvard and engineered the first 16 seed defeats 1 seed in NCAA history, with 35 points and 14 boards to beat Stanford. Her mom played ten years in the W. Her dad played at NC State followed by 15 years in Europe.
I’m not a gambler, but if I was, I’d take UCONN and give you the field with odds. If Strong avoids serious injury, she’s a serious candidate for an undefeated career!

UConn is good, no doubt. But this team hasn’t faced many decent teams since December. Beat Michigan by 3 and while they handled Iowa (who has improved greatly since) it wasn’t nearly as dominating as what UCLA did to them. Would I bet against UConn. Nope, but a final of UConn and UCLA promises to be an amazing game…if they both get that far.
I think that it is a UConn vs UCLA final. I do not think anybody is close to them.
I think UConn win by 10-15. They are out of this world.
I hate the projections that show us as a 9 seed in UConns bracket.

Missouri State and Louisiana Tech setting the game back a few decades.
39-33 with 8:00 left in the game, and it stayed that way until LT hit a 3 with 0:31 left to make it 39-36. Neither team scored in seven and a half minutes.

Hope TCU is the 3 on Iowas side. TCU matches up well with them if they both get to the sweet 16. Though if Iowa is matches up with a physical SEC team in the 2nd round they could get beat.
The crying from Vic/Dawn tomorrow may be an all-timer.
One of them will get a regional in Fort Worth, and the other will get shipped off to Sacramento. Finally a fun consequence of the two-site system.

Agreed although KU and BYU are the two most likely left out. I’m still amazed at Colorado.
Charleston (26-5) & Hofstra (11-21) face off in the CAA championship tomorrow. Neither has ever made the NCAA tournament before.
Yes I would love for them to play TCU, I like that matchup. And Crème has Iowa playing Georgia in the 2nd game….that would be awesome too
Charleston is decent I’ve watched them play…probably not good enough to win a game but they are ok
UTSA and Rice playing in Birmingham.
On-camera shot of the announcers coming out of halftime, and there are ZERO people behind them. Not even way in the back. Just a trash can and a backpack.
