Gonzaga gets a 9 seed, so Louisville has to worry about meeting them in the second round (though Louisville will be hosting them).

For some reason I worry more about Maryland than Texas--perhaps it is just the over confidence factor and not allowing for the fact that we played only a part of their team before.
The favoritism toward UConn is disgusting. But they are NC State's problem now.
We should turn our attention to Montana State, Kansas, and Georgie Tech.
Still haunted by the loss to FSU in the second round in 2007.

This from head coach Binford regarding playing Stanford. "We're excited to be going to California, and who gets to say they're playing Stanford?" said Ellen Kreighbaum Women's Head Coach Tricia Binford. "They are the epitome of one of the top programs in the country and we're excited for the opportunity. We punched our ticket and we're going to go give them everything we have."

As a kid that grew up in Montana who wouldn't be excited to be going to California!!

Living in the PNW, I definitely want to watch Stanford in person if they make it to Spokane. How and when can I purchase tickets, specifically tickets in the Stanford section?

Tix for a Stanford Section won't go on sale until after Stanford wins the 2nd round game at Maples -- in past, have been available through the Stanford ticket office the next day, sometimes those at the 2nd round game have been able to sign up at Maples right after the end of the game. I'd suggest calling the ticket office now and asking what's going to happen. [Please, woofing gods, don't read this and jinx a 1st or 2nd round win!]

- Liking our draw.
- Liking Colorado's draw. Iowa about to learn what physicality means outside the soft Big Ten :>
- Liking Oregon's draw. They could come out of Wichita.
- Liking Utah's draw. Good matchup against Texas.
- Rough draw for Arizona opposite So Carolina, but it will still be a battle. Reese is supposedly back.
- Rough draw for WSU as they were blown out by NC St earlier in the year.
- Still think UConn could buckle before the Final Four, maybe against Indiana/Kentucky.

Whatever the outcome, the games (the team can't look ahead to the 2nd round, but I can) this Friday and Sunday will be the final ones in Maples in a Stanford uniform for Anna Wilson, Lexie Hull and Lacie Hull. I hope that they get a big crowd to send them off. It's been such a joy watching them play.

I'm with you BB. My bracket has CU upsetting Iowa, Utah meeting us in the Sweet 16, Oregon going to the FF (they have a fortunate bracket), UA bounced by SC, WSU bounced by NC St. Pac 12 will do very well overall.
Either NC St or UConn are tough opponent in FF and I worry that UConn might get on a roll.
But I believe as I have since start of the season that Stanford will repeat as national champions (over So. Carolina). No team is as talented and deep as we are. There are some that are close, but none at our level. Our women are tournament battle tested and the team is used to the big stage and the pressure. Our women are also not the types to get big heads or take opponents for granted. Then there's Tara.......'nuff said.
I know that the team (and as fans we need to understand) has to take one game at a time, put forth full effort, and avoid thinking ahead. Still, objectively speaking, we are the best team in the country and the P12 is better than it has been given credit.

Lindy/UNLV v. UA: root for an alum or a PAC-12 team?
Lindy has done a very good job at UNLV. If she pulls off the upset, could she be considered a serious candidate for some of the job openings around?
