We will be challenged in many ways. Maybe good that it's happening on "an off" year - losing our top 3 scorers from last year and with a "new" coach so expectations from outsiders are low. 10 seed and not making it onto pre-season top 25 list will surely light a fire and drive this team to prove the naysayers wrong. 

I'm with them -- albeit via TV most of the time, since now being on the East Coast I aim for a (now long) weekend to watch at Stanford and one in the southeast. Trying also to get to watch USC at UConn but can't root for either team? Somehow was easier to cheer for UCLA with Betts because she seemed unhappy/not the right fit vs. feel like USC just threw money at Kiki (for whom probably tough to resist, as with Naja Cannady on softball).
