Wow! Who thunk AZ could beat UConn?! Amazing! Not this idiot. I thought they would limit Aari and the rest of the wildcats would struggle to score. Turns out AZ shut down Bueckers and the rest of the Huskies struggled to score. UConn's big weakness is Nelson-Adoda is not a big you can play through. Looking forward to Sunday! |

I gotta go for the cats Sunday. Tree has a better chance to be here again next year... and the year after.

Crazy to imagine that not too long ago OSU was trying to force McDonald into three’s and now she is deadly from out there over the course of the tournament.
Nelson-Ododa is not impressive. If they had Taylor Jones UConn likely wins that game. I know Jones misses some layups, because Nelson-Ododa is like playing 5 on 4.
I’m very much inclined to choose Stanford, but Aari McDonald is on a tear. I just think Brink puts Stanford over the top.
Three Oregonians in the Final Four (Bendu Yeaney, Evina Westbrook, and Cameron Brink) and two in the National Championship!
This UConn team is nowhere near the level of the team we face, but that is to be expected given they had the top three picks in the draft and this team had zero seniors.
McDonald’s defense and speed is incredible, and Barnes is a heck of a coach.

Arizona is gonna be a problem child for the rest of the Pac-12 in the future . See what happens when you lean more towards athleticism McDonald is a tremendous player. I don't get the impression that Reese is especially athletic. In fact, she has nice numbers but plays pretty stiff. |

When you have a senior leader, who starts out well, with confidence, that makes all the difference. Not just in basketball.

Looks like we're going to get our all Pac 12 championship!!! Shove it east coast bias!! I still think our Final 4 team was better than this AZ team. Go Beavs! I'd agree with that. Unfortunately, the Beavs ran into one of the best college WBB teams ever in their FF game. This UConn team was a light year from that one. Congrats to AZ. I like how Barnes' team plays the game. |

I don't get the impression that Reese is especially athletic. In fact, she has nice numbers but plays pretty stiff. Another player not overly athletic but still really impressive is Sam Thomas. Ranked #92 in the class of 2017 and noted for her leadership qualities (pretty rare to see in an evaluation) - she’s the ultimate glue player and was there for the six-win season. She does all the little things and hits the three well. Every team needs a player like her. |

My money is still on Tree. They are just too good 1 through 5. But more importantly, nearly losing to SC I'm guessing will wake them up. I bet Tree wins by double digits. They've had SOOOOOO many wake up calls this year. The first half of the Louisville game was supposed to be a wake up call too. They just can't seem to either get focused or stay focused, been a bugaboo all year. Yet they still find themselves in the Championship Game. |

Of course only two time losers say it. |

Watching ESPN and Geno is very complimentary of UA and McDonald. Seems like a good guy but I know many think he's an ass.
