Needless to say, I am quite pleased and surprised with the seeding we got.Â
538 has their bracket predictions up again:
 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/201...ns/womens/
They calculate we (or whoever beats us) have about a 70% chance of beating K State (if they get that far),
51% chance of beating Texas (iwgtf & if they get that far, 70% drops to 36%), but they have Texas at a 60% chance of beating us (90% drops to 54%)?? [Oh, I understand, Texas's chances are against the winner of our bracket. Stanford's chances are against the winner of their bracket. That's why the numbers don't sum to 100%]
Â
28% chance of beating ND (iwgtf & iftgtf). [Up from 17% last year ]
50% chance of beating Oregon State (iwgtf & iftgtf)
20% chance of beating UConn (iwgth & iftgtf).
538 got burned by the PAC-12 last year. I hope it is a bonfire this year.
I wouldn't mind another match-up with Washington this year. Or, maybe we even the series with Oregon State. Heck, I'd even be pleased if we got another shot at UCLA.
