Women’s basketball has not reached the
level of parity that men’s basketball has in recent years. Cinderella
stories and runs toward the second weekend by double-digit seeds are
common place on the men’s side, but the efforts of 11-seed Gonzaga have
been truly special in the women’s tournament. The Ladies Elite Eight is
set, and as usual, all four top seeds remain. Three top seeds will face
2-seeds as their regional final opponent, but one top seed will face
Gonzaga. The Lady Zags run through this tournament has been thrilling
and I, for one, will be rooting for them to be the VCU of the Women’s
Final Four. Gonzaga is led by senior point guard, Courtney Vandersloot. Her statistical achievements are staggering, and she is every bit as good as the stats suggest. If Gonzaga wins, they would be the lowest seed in the
history of the Women’s Final Four, and Vandersloot would become a legend along the likes of Jackie Styles. Here are the games that will decide
he goes to Indianapolis for a chance to become champions. (1)TENNESSEE VS (2)NOTRE DAME - DAYTON, OH
(1)CONNECTICUT VS (2)DUKE - PHILADELPHIA, PA
(1)BAYLOR VS (2)TEXAS A&M - DALLAS, TX
(1)STANFORD VS (11)GONZAGA - SPOKANE, WA
