There was a little poll here a while back. I think I said final four. I am curious what other people said.

Before the brackets were announced, I did not think we would reach the FF this year. Afterward, however, I thought we got the easiest bracket and at least had a puncher's chance. I think USC was weakest among the #1 seeds. So much for the PAC-12 in its final season. They got hyped all year as being such a powerful conference and end up with zero teams in the FF.

I don't recall if I voted, but as one of the statistically addicted I think I felt we had a 50/50 chance which turned out to be 100/0, although those seven missed freethrows at the end could have been disaster had USC made the field goals in between.
Looking at Massey's ratings - Power , Offense & Defense - it's UConn (#2, 4, 3) amd Iowa (#3, 1, 109). From a statistical point it's a question of whether Iowa's offense can overcome UConn's defense and vice versa. It will be an interesting game.
Thinking about it I give UConn the edge, 55/45, assuming we make free throws at the end..

To me that puts us in the game. Mulkey did not manage Caitlin Clark well defensively and she went off for 41 points. I think GA (The goat) will have a better defensive plan and Iowa has to stop Buckets too! |

I thought Texas was the weakest #1 seed Texas already beat us earlier in the season...and rather handily too (although it was at their place). Harmon killed us in that game. I know she is out for the season now but it does not look like the Longhorns have suffered any from her loss. Plus I think Vic Schaefer has more experience preparing a team for a tournament run than Lindsay Gottlieb does. His Mississippi State team beat us in OT in the 2017 FF and he has taken Texas to the Elite Eight in 3 of the 4 years he has been there. |

Well maybe I was too much of an optimist . I picked the finals. Was thinking had a chance to win it all. Would be very surprised if Clark has a great game . In the last 15 not much there but a lot of shots, a bunch of turnovers . Even though she shot less than 50% it was probably her best game of season . UConn can let her score but take away the others . I expect her to put up 20 3’s and maybe hit 4 to 6.. if Paige takes 8 expect her to hit 5

Do you think it would have mattered if UCONN was a 2 seed going into this tournament? No!
