One word: Guards
Without JJ Hones, Stanford won't get the ball into the post against decent defensive teams. Stanford didn't play a decent team after Hones went down. |
When did Hones get hurt? |
JJ hasn't practiced since UConn game and plays limited minutes due to swelling in her knee. Post season surgery is scheduled.

I agree. Come with some very tough defense and Stanford gets rattled.

| Pretty good draw for Gonzaga! A 7 seed, and I think they've got a solid shot at getting past UNC and A&M. Let's go Lady Zags!

Sorry to hear that. But at least she is getting to play some. From the way it was initially phrased here, I thought it was a season-ending injury.

IMO,
Stanford got pretty screwed with the toughest region as the overall #2, somewhat like Kansas and Kentucky men.
I could understand Fresno State in, kind of for UALR, but not Green Bay.
Yes USC got screwed, definitely them over UNC, even Maryland over UNC.
I do not think Nebraska will make the Final Four.
Regions in order of hardness to weakness:
Sacramento, Memphis, KC, Dayton.
I also would put Tenn as the overall #3.

| I'm disappointed to see that no Pac10 teams made it to the Berkeley regional. Would have been nice to have UCLA (or even USC if they had made it) there. The travel would also be easier on SoCal fans. |

Sorry to be misleading josh. JJ was the difference maker against Duke. Without her, I just don't see Stanford getting to the final game. Actually in my bracket I have them going down against A & M. I actually think that will be a good game. Stanford's discipline and obvious talent in the big 3 could push them over but it's gonna be hard for the guards to get it downcourt.

USC's numbers are essentially the same as North Carolina's, and the Ladies of Troy didn't finish 3-8 down the stretch. USC should have gotten the bid ahead of UNC. |
And UNC should still get a bid ahead of Green Bay and Arkansas at Little Rock. Maryland would have been a better selection than either one of those teams, especially Green Bay.

lots of people are talking about a TENN and UCONN match-up BUT...if Ohio State makes it and plays UCONN anyone think on a good night they might be able to rattle them?
what about Duke's chances of making it to possibly play TENN? If Duke is on their game..defensively making some noise and hitting buckets they can def beat TENN...I'm sure Duke wants another go at UCONN they hung in there with them for a half...Duke had them on the ropes for a minute. I'd love to see Duke make it to the final 4 for a chance at them 1 more time.
UNC makes no sense to me...that win against Duke must have been fresh in some minds...even still...if they were that darn good why did they get knocked our in the first round???

Even if UConn is having a bad night, Ohio State has no chance. Same with Duke, they never had UConn seriously on the ropes in that game. Duke might be #2, but I don't give them any chance of making it to the Final Four.

| No hate but Ohio State doesn't have a chance in hell at beating UConn, nor do I think they'll make it that far. |

ODU stinking it up against JMU is interesting. Must have had inside info that, should they win, they would have to play UCONN if they made it out of the first round (which, IMO they wouldnt have as they really played poorly this year.
We are going to the games in Norfolk so get to see UCONN roll over everyone. The Temple-JMU matchup should be faily good.

UNC's history got them in the tourney not there performance and i dont agree with that at all. USC deserved the bid over UNC clearly. The comittee was a little bias with this pick IMO |
