Notre Dame and Connecticut will meet in the Final Four, Championship Game

On the women's side...my prediction...each gets a #1 seed tonight, with Baylor #1 overall, then an over-rated Stanford team (they play no one outside the Pac-10 for the most part) at #2, ND is 3 overall, UCONN 4. That's good because ND and UCONN will be not meet up until the championship game, but not sure who gets Baylor in the semis...they're beatable, but not before the Final Four.

They won't have to play both ND and UCONN now...but ND or UCONN will have to play Baylor and each other to win it all...what a joke...Stanford could lose to West Virginia in the second round...they beat ND and always give UCONN a rough time.

UCONN is probably second easiest...ND has the hardest, although Stanford has a couple teams that really, really could beat them.

teams and the rest of the bunch that that happening is nearly impossible.

If Baylor ends up in the final I am sort of hoping UCONN beats ND simply because Gino will outcoach what's her face...not Muffin...the homophobe from Baylor.

Basically, lots don't feel they can come out...one lady who played the year they won it all had a girlfriend she lived off campus with and while Pukey (Pokey) didn't say anything, she had ways of making her feel unwelcome...whatta ya expect, they have Ken Nazi Starr as their President at Baylor.
