Wow, even so, that's some serious chalk.

I think the pool of serious, serious ballers is much smaller in women's basketball. Once you reach the 8 seed level and such, the girls are probably aren't even that serious about it.

I disagree with that last part.

The athletic departments I'd probably agree. Not the players themselves.

The 1998 women's tournament was history making. That was the first and only time a 16 (Harvard) beat a 1 (Stanford) and the 9 (Arkansas) made it to the 'Final Four'...the lowest seed to make it that far to date. The 2nd round matchup would have been 1 vs 9.

That Stanford team (the 1 seed) was missing 3 starters to injury IIRC.
