Day 2 of the Sweet Sixteen. Two more #1s in action in the afternoon sessions.
#1 South Carolina v #5 Georgia Tech 1:00 ABC
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think SC is the last SEC team in the tournament. I would love to see Georgia Tech pull off the upset and send SC packing back to Columbia. Because I have ties to GT, but mostly because it is SC.
#1 Stanford v #5 Missouri State 3:00 ABC
I think Stanford takes down Missouri State pretty handily. I would be shocked if this was an upset. Other than the fact that I generally root for the underdog unless that underdog is playing UConn, I have no particular rooting interest here.
#2 Louisville v #6 Oregon 7:00 ESPN
How cool would it be for a #6 seed to go to the Elite Eight? For this reason alone I am cheering for Oregon. Okay, I don't much like Louisville so that comes into play.
#2 Maryland v #6 Texas 9:00 ESPN
I dislike Maryland more than I dislike Louisville so I will be rooting for Texas. But I think Maryland, much like Stanford, will win pretty easily.
It is interesting that today's matchups are #1 v #5 and #2 v #6. These two regions have gone against the standard of seeing #1 v #4 and #2 v #3. Fun to see.

Very interesting. Massey's take on the Oregon v Louisville game. They have Oregon with a 61% probability of winning. Score prediction 69-65. This should be a good game!

Aaliyah Boston's weave/braids are much shorter today. At least seems like it to me. I guess I am too superstitious. I wouldn't be changing anything at this time of year.

I cant believe its this close. I watched GT miss six consecutive layups. Who do they think they are, South Carolina?

GT lost Cooke on transition and she drains the three. Gotta tighten up on the transition D.

Speaking of Massey; UConn beat their expected points differential yesterday against Iowa & Baylor did not! UConn just seems to get better with each new game & challenge, we have Anna hitting 3's and PAIGE!!! The Iowa game was such a wonderful team effort, both on defense and offense ..... I feel good about our game against Baylor & here's the Massey prediction: www.masseyratings.com/cbw2021/1872UConn by 3 points!! A close game! |

End of Q3, South Carolina is up a dozen. Come on Yellow Jackets! Gather yourselves and come out fighting in the 4th. Don't roll over. At least make SC work hard.

Dawn Staley has that "there is a bad smell in here" scowl on her face.

Missouri State just not up to it absent a big change. Too slow and too deliberate. Could be real ugly later.
On edit. 49-26 at the half.

Oregon is down their starting point guard after an ugly rolled ankle. Sedona Prince picked up two fouls in the first quarter. Going to be an uphill battle for the ducks.
