So the 3rd round is almost set.
- Pac-12 finally had a team eliminated; Cal goes down hard to Baylor - Anigwe got into foul trouble defending Baylors bigs, and it was over fast (really, even before the foul trouble). Not many teams can match up with Baylor's front court, making it more amazing how Marie owned them by herself last year.
- tsdtr gets to move clear up to a 6 seed in the next round, playing the South Dakota State. My impression is that both Gonzaga and BSU could hang with SDSU, but their early season schedule says otherwise, where they actually a bunch of teams well, except getting blasted by Marquette (but hanging with Baylor, Buffalo and tstdr, and beating Drake). But this one isn't likely to be close. Chalk on the other side of that regional, where MSU will take on ASU. I'd pull for the Pac-12, except I don't want tstdr getting ASU for a trip to the final 4.
- UCLA reps well, knocking off Maryland and give UConn a tougher matchup, IMO. Should be a good one. The winner of that gets the winner of OSU-UL. How about we get another Bruin-Beaver game?
- Stanford gets an even bigger gift in an 11 seed Missouri State team if they can get by BYU. So far they haven't been able to shake Stanford. BYU is a team that owned the Zags even when they were fully healthy, so they can ball. However, they also lost to Cal and Utah, and some weaker teams in conference, so they haven't been consistent. Looks like the are showing up today though.
If Stanford prevails, it'd be 5 Pac-12 teams in the sweet 16. Not too shabby.
