Time to let my freak flag fly!
Ok, so no bag pipes. What I learned from watching last night is that Louisville may or may not be good enough to stop UConn short of the Semifinals. Huskies had Foul trouble and despite that were not outstanding on Defense though the key to the game was the fact they got like 8 Turnovers in the First Quarter and converted nearly all of them for points.
Mississippi State is Scary Good. Baylor is Scary Good. Otherwise not so much, so the goal is to beat Louisville and then you have a chance for a Steal (Sweden in case you were interested).
Only two Underdogs to advance, Michigan State and Missouri State. Michigan State has a real program, don’t know about Missouri State.

In this group I like Michigan State (not just because they’re going against Muffy), Syracuse, and Gonzaga.

ND coach Muffie has toned down her wardrobe this season. She wearing a white skirt (a bit too short for a woman in her position, slacks would have been better, especially since she is crouching on the sidelines, not a good look, Muffie. Maybe she should just stand up), a 3/4 sleeved, marine blue top with a collar with a silver, linked opera length necklace and black pumps.
