The Final Four Is Set
On one side of the bracket: The #1 seeds UConn and Notre Dame. (For the third year in a row!)
On the other side of the bracket: A #2 seed making its debut (California) and a #5 seed for only the second time in the history of the tournament (Louisville).
I think most people are assuming that the Cal/Louisville game is irrelevant, and that the winner will be determined by the Notre Dame/UConn game.
But Louisville's been on a tear this week, upsetting Baylor and Tennessee. They always play UConn hard during the regular season, so I think they could really make a play.
The first year I followed UConn (2010-2011), they beat Notre Dame three times before losing to Notre Dame in the Final Four. This year Notre Dame won the first three games this season. Hopefully UConn can mirror the 2010-2011 season!
By the way... With Kelly Faris graduating, I was wondering who my new favorite player was going to be. Well, Moriah Jefferson has been trying her best to earn that spot. She's itty bitty (5'7"), looks like she's twelve, but is playing fearless since the Big East Tournament. She's tough on defense, getting a lot of steals, is driving to the basket, and is generally making good decisions and using her speed well.
Oh! And she's blocking shots, too!
