Some of my thoughts: Despite their downward spiral, I think Tennesse could pull off a shocker. I know, I know, they've been a hot mess. They just lost to freaking Mizzou with a ton of questionable losses. They can easily lose in round 1 to North Carolina. But I think they can be dangerous in a one-off match. Runnels and Fingall go off along with ball control somehow holding up... it's at least possible. ay2013 has done some hating on Mississippi State, I think that was personal they were sent to UW. They better hold up! Western Kentucky vs. Georgia Tech is an interesting potential 2nd round match. Georgia Tech doesn't have monster middles to shut down Matthews. But, who knows what to expect with that team. Timmer is back and Washington State is a whole new look for Baylor. Penn State beats Pittsburgh and all of a sudden the doors are open for Purdue, who has a cakewalk into the 2nd round barring Marquette's already injury hampered team or Jamie Peterson somehow pulling off a shocker.

I hate to put it out there, but Pitt could see the doors early. From a relative of one of the players for Pitt, just got word that Lund is supposedly not playing AT ALL in the tourney due to the abdominal injury she suffered. Guess it was really bad. I hope your info is inaccurate. It stinks when late season injuries derail a team. god that sucks if it’s true :/ and of course if she’s unavailable and they get upset the narrative will still be that pitt is overrated and nobody will mention that they didn’t have their best player just like 2018

I still can't accept that seven Big12 teams made the tourney. How?

Technically all the seeds are already home the first two rounds.

Holy %*$# ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Wow...I mean Pitt still has some good pieces with Lek, Starks, Gray, and Vasquez Gomez, but they definitely won't be passing well enough to get them through a Elite 8/Final 4 run imo. Hope this isn't true but based on the fact that she was pretty heavily wrapped up at the Louisville match I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case
