March Madness - Distaff Edition and More

Update [2007-3-17 14:54:48 by Big Tent Democrat]: Xavier up 6 8 9 at the under 10 8 5 mark and OSU go to overtime. Lewis with monster 3 to tie. Oden 3 4 fouls out. The Bucks could be in serious VERY serious trouble. Bucks up 8 in OT. I call ballgame. Great win for Ohio State.

Today's other games - Butler/MD, Vandy/Wash. St, L-ville/Tex A&M, VCU/Pitt, UCLA/Ind, BC/G-Town, UNC/Mich St. My picks are in bold.

The 2007 NCAA
Women's Basketball Championship Tournament
starts today at noon est.

The four top seeds are North Carolina, Connecticut, Duke, and Tennessee.

I won't pretend to know anything except that these four schools, plus 2 seeds like Maryland, Vandy and Purdue, are perennial powerhouses.

The other thing I know, sordid gossipy knowledge, is that 3 seed LSU's coach stepped down apparently becasuse of revelations of inappropriate relationships with players.

If you know something meaningful about the tourney, please share it in this thread.

    What about the other 2 seed? (5.00 / 3) (#1)

    Candice Wiggins is absolutely amazing, and Jayne Appel is the Pac-10 player of the year. So I'm hopeful.

    Besides, how can you not cheer for the team that has a tree for its mascot?

    You know more about it than I do (5.00 / 2) (#4)

    Light Emitting Pickle:  

    I'm with you! Not only do they have a tree for a mascot, they are a color.  And don't forget that Brooke Smith is shooting well.  I hope this is their year.  I am bored with Tennesse, Duke, North Carolina, and Connecticut.  Go West!

    Are you saying (none / 0) (#2)
    by roboleftalk on Sat Mar 17, 2007 at 11:45:32 AM EST
    the relationships were not meaningful?

    I don;t know (none / 0) (#3)
    by Big Tent Democrat on Sat Mar 17, 2007 at 11:48:14 AM EST
    and that information is not meaningful to the tourney other than the fact that the LSU coach is gone.
