Looking very forward to the Arizona result, since that is our local team. Really like our Wildcats. They have been on a Covid break, much shorter that Rutgers, of course.

While it doesn't matter much in the ultimate sense - especially with the tournament all in one place - always root for Dawn. Jolette Law is still an assistant there.

It was a defensive struggle by two teams who had scouted each other well and are athletic enough to stop what the other team is trying to do.

Bueckers is obviously outstanding, but the disappearance of Christyn Williams, another former #1 player, was bizarre.

SC has a ton of talent (and Boston is a beast), but what they are really missing is a reliable outside threat. Staley probably REALLY wishes she had landed Diamond now.
