Unpopular opinion but, I like that the top 16 host for WBB. It increases the value of the regular season & creates great atmospheres for early round games.
Neutral sites = emptier gyms (men's too!). Equity between the tournaments doesn't mean things need to be done the same way

Aubrey Griffin had 12 rebounds in just 19 minutes. Griffin's effort on the glass and defensive end, combined with Azzi Fudd's explosive third quarter completely changed the trajectory of the game for UConn.

LSU coming out this flat is exactly why you should maybe play more than one ranked team during the season to prepare for the big moments 🤷🏻♀️

Paige Bueckers and Aaliyah Edwards could be expected to deliver tonight. Ice Brady was the difference maker IMO. If she doesn't get the minutes and experience in the Big East tournament that she got when Edwards broke her nose, I don't know that UConn goes to Cleveland.

Aliyah Boston finishes with 17 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.
That's the first 15pt/10reb/5ast/5stl/3blk game in D1 WBB this season. Going back to 2009-10 there has only been 5 such games, none in a power conference.

We heard so much about how the Big East deserves more respect from the coaches during the Big East tournament.
This is exactly why. Crieghton finished third in the Big East and they're going to the Elite Eight. The league isn't just UConn and everyone else.

Nika Muhl is currently averaging more assists per game than 111 teams this season. That's more assists than over 30% of the 361 Division I teams.
Absolutely insane.

Nika Muhl now ranks first in the country in assists per game (10.3).
Azzi Fudd ranks second in points per game (30.0), just behind Aneesah Morrow (30.3).
Muhl and Fudd are both doing that with 2/3 of their first three games coming against top-10 opponents.

Despite the injuries, the foul trouble, the lack of depth - UConn is heading back to the Final Four. Incredible from Paige Bueckers. 28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals. 24 points from Aaliyah Edwards. Big night from Ice Brady off the bench.

The discourse around the Oregon St transfers is wild. They signed up to play in one of the best WBB leagues in the country. That's no longer the case in Corvallis b/c of factors out of their control.
They're competitors, they want to go somewhere to compete at the highest level.

UConn is a No. 1 seed despite a loss to Marquette, because the Huskies have 8 (!) wins over teams in the NET top-25. That's not bias, its a really, really strong non-conference resume.
Also Marquette is a top-40 NET team.

Aliyah Boston is leading the country in Win Shares (and by a ways compared to everyone but Lee) while only playing 27.6 minutes per game. She also ranks first in WS/40 and PER.

So much of the best talent in this year's Final Four is going to be back next year, and in some case multiple years.

The transformation this UConn team has made since the early December loss to Texas is evident. Yes North Carolina, Louisville and Marquette aren't the same caliber of opponents as the Huskies losses, but this team is clearly much better than it was in Austin.

Absolutely insane performance from Caitlin Clark.
But 17 from McKenna Warnock, 14 from Gabbie Marshall - that is the difference between Iowa last year and Iowa this year, or even the start of this season to Iowa now. That's why they're going to Dallas.

This is the first I've watched any non-UConn men's basketball this year and we really need to get rid of playing halves. It's truly borderline unwatchable compared to the quarters on the women's side.

I'm not always a fan of +/- as a stat, but Olivia Nelson-Ododa being +26 in the game seems like the best number to sum up her defensive performance.

The fact that 19-11 Oregon was considered in the mix for a top 4 seed heading into the Pac-12 tournament because of injuries, but Villanova (23-7) isn't considered a lock in the field with three of their losses coming without (should be All-American) Maddy Siegrist is ridiculous.
