NCAA Women’s Sweet 16 – Day 2

The Women’s Elite 8, Regional Finals, are tomorrow and Monday . A couple of upsets as two #2’s fell, Notre dame and Stanford.  It’s an unlucky number for the women, too. Here are last night’s games:

We get to see more of #3 LSU Coach Kim Mulkey’s colorful outfits as her girls take down #2 UCLA. All of the Women’s #2’s have been eliminated. #3LSU will play #1 Iowa on April 1. Tight game for #3 UConn but they move on to the Elite 8 where they will face their toughest opponent yet, #1 Southern California on Monday night,

One of the things that the NCAA must address is the wresting over the ball from the hands of the player who possess the ball. This  should be a foul for who ever starts it and  on those who participate. The penalty: unopposed two free throws with the ball going back to that team. I guarantee this will stop it, for both the men’s and women’s NCAA games. This is a basketball game not a wrestling match.

Bold and single asterisk indicates the winner. Double asterisk is an upset. All updates will be posted in the main post.
