...and root for Michigan tonight

I've been thinking the same thing...

Analyst Andraya Carter on ESPN just now, talking about how, besides UCLA, others in the B1G will fare in the NCAAs: "I like this Michigan team, I like Minnesota. There are a few teams I have an eye on in the Big Ten."

More locker room fodder. Included: most of the usual suspects plus a headscratcher or two (I guess McGuff's DUI and accompanying viral video don't matter?). Not included: Plitzuweit...

OSU at a 4 seed, and it would be quite easy to flip those, based on results in the next few games, when OSU has a tougher schedule than the Gophers do (USC, MI, MSU).

Skim Milkey is on board

As the (pretty good, I thought) announcers pointed out, that was a hesitation dribble.

VERY questionable.

To be fair, pretty much everyone agreed that the Gophers were not really a 7 seed. The seed was based on all of the losses the Gophers racked up while Whalen was hurt and uncertainty about whether she'd even be able to return at full strength -- which, we found out in that UCLA game, she really did.

That problematic non-conference SOS is what has dinged teams in the past (LSU, for instance).

...and with the tiebreaker over the team in third, if it comes to that.

missing bunnies. early nerves?

Please cheer twice as loud for me. I'm not going to make it, sadly

Pretty sure the Gophers were ranked in the AP poll for some of the season when Banham was injured and Zahui B was so good.
