    If I'm reading it right, Nate Silver gives us a 1% chance of winning the National Championship. Man, we ain't getting no respect at all. We'll have to prove him wrong.

    either way would work as long as the games weren't piled up when there's no reason, other than money, to do so.

    Can't find a UCLA forum with anything on the game other than the 247 forum that had a thread with three posts on Monday. Even the LA Times has nothing on the upcoming game.

    Good summary from Michelle Voepel of each team in the Sweet 16

    Cool composite video of what the team was doing on Selection Monday. The video also provides a glimpse of Jamey Carey and her coaching personality.

    I hesitate to even mention this, but wasn't there a glimpse of Rellah in that practice tape? Good to see Jamie at work.

    I saw Rellah in the practice part of the video, I think I saw her in every section.

    Whoever this Borzi person is? Now my arch-enemy. Never pick against the Horns!

    Looks like Borzi has a little West Coast bias as he/she also picked Stanford to upset Louisville.

    Ahhh, it was all tongue-in-cheek at the "disrespect" shown. The only teams I've seen play were UConn and the Bears....so what do I know?

    Is ND really that good given all the injuries they are dealing with?

    I guess us against UCLA is sort of the #7 (8) overall seed versus the overall #10 seed. So, on paper, it shapes up to possibly be a close and competitive game.

    The other matchups in the round of 16, several due to upsets in the round of 32, aren't supposed to be all the close on paper.

    They are amazingly good, considering the injuries. Muffin must be one hell of a coach and personnel recruiter, because despite all those injuries, ND is still one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the country. She always has shooters and scorers, year after year, and they always do well.

    Nice story about LaShann and UCLA's Japreece Dean, both Central Texas HS players in 2015.

    Statistically against the 15 other teams. As teams are eliminated the percentages will change.

    They’ve had injuries but almost every player that’s healthy was a highly touted recruit. Every player on their starting five could realistically start for any team in the country.

    Yes, like us, they do have highly recruited players (although not as many McDonalds All Americans as we do), BUT Muffet McGraw is one of the very best coaches in the game and is an absolute genius in her approach and half court offensive philosophy. Their half court offensive sets and ball movement are a thing of beauty. That is coaching. Muffet is hands down one of the top 3 coaches in the game today!!!

    I think we will be fine tonight as long as we stay out of foul trouble.

    I think UCLA will win the game. The difference will be Jordan Canada and Billings.
