(Sigh... I hate it when I type a DEL when my browser's focus is on this window but not in the input box. I lose everything I've put in.)
What's with all the upsets? I'll be very happy if there are no more upsets until April 3!
But, if Stanford should lose one, I don't see us moving out of a #1 seed. RPI #9 & #11 just lost from the ACC. That's got to hurt the RPI of #8(RPI) Maryland (who had 3 losses and 1 win against Miami & Duke). So that leaves Tenn (#5), TX A&M(#6), Delaware(#7). I just can't see moving Tenn with 8 losses ahead of a team that beat them. The aggies are a little tougher to call, but 7 losses versus 2? Delaware might have an outside shot, but I think not. So I think we would be a #1 seed.
A more interesting question is whether ND moves ahead of Stanford if they beat UConn again.
Nneka averages 21.6 points and 10.6 rebounds in 29.2 minutes. If she plays 40 minutes a game, that would be 29.6 points and 14.5 rebounds per game. We expect her to play more over the next (hopefully) 10 games, albeit against tougher opponents. If she could average 36.5 points for the next 10 games, she could catch Candice. Unlikely, but a nice thought. More likely is averaging 12.03 rebounds over 10 games to catch Kayla.
