(6) Georgia 56
(11) MTSU 41 Final

Glad MTSU made the Tourney, but Georgia was just the better team. I think the Lady Raiders have a bright future with their young players.

When did the women start playing tourney games on their home courts? I never noticed it before.
Because I seen the Lady Vols played Stetson on theirs?

 

[UTVolCountry]

I believe all the 1 seeds host the region on their home court. I don't really agree with it because the last thing 1 seeds really need is home court advantage in women's basketball.

 

[Smoke]

Oh ok. Yea, it's already a hard enough task for a 16th seed to beat a #1, let alone it being on the #1's home court.

 

[UTVolCountry]

I also think a lot of it has to do with attendance. Right now the women are competing with the men, so their best chance for good crowds are to have the higher seeds to host a few games where they can draw 10-15k.

Congrats. I'm a big Pat Summit fan. Do you think they can take down UCONN if they get the chance? I hope so.

GO BAYLOR!! and gansta Griner.

Did you see that Sports Science segment on her yesterday? They said her hands are wider than Lebron James' by half an inch and that she has like a 7' 3" wingspan. LOL.

Congrats. I'm a big Pat Summit fan. Do you think they can take down UCONN if they get the chance? I hope so.

Thanks! It was a good game like I expected. Both teams really fought hard today. You could tell they were both exhausted, lol.

I think they can beat UConn, but their D has to get WAY better for them to have a shot. Gotta tough challenge vs ND first!
