It seems like we were just here. --- in 2019. I don't know what you've been doing, but 2019 feels like 20 years ago to me.. LOL. And mostly for the 'wrong' reasons.

It seems like we were just here. These two teams, featuring many of the same players, squared off in the Sweet 16 in 2019. UCLA actually has a setter this time around. If Luper is 100% it should be much more competitive. wow, I completely do not understand this post. Are you being humorous or sarcastic? Did you watch the two games this weekend?

I give UCLA a punchers chance. They have to play more consistent, if your giving up 6-7 point runs Wisc will bury them. Yes, a puncher's chance. If Luper were 100% healthy I'd give the match a 40% chance to UCLA. Without Luper hitting effectively front row, about 5%.

I watched the UCLA/USC game (if you have a VPN the Pac-12 Network is free on YouTube for international viewers, which I found out too late in the season for my own good) and the second round match against UCF, so I only have that sense of UCLA but they are going to have to raise their game a couple of levels. They have looked very shaky for stretches.

Did you watch the two games this weekend? Like I said, if Luper is 100% they should be more competitive and a better team than last year. Luper is dynamic and adds a lot to this team, she's their spark plug. She hasn't played except for limited duties last night and not at all in the prior game.

Honestly one of the uglier performances I've seen this year in the first round. Second not much better. A punchers chance means they have some fire power and with a higher than usual level of play or lower level of play from Wisc could pull it out but highly unlikely. Buster Douglas had a punchers chance against Mike Tyson.

May the temps be cold. LA or FL coming... and they wear wind breakers. There could be snow. Forecast is for a high of 36, no snow forecast. Frozen mix
