And then there were two left in the Greensboro Regional. The number one seed Lady Bears and number two seed Iowa Hawkeyes with a chance to go to the Final Four. The Hawkeyes lost six games in the regular season, but hasn’t tasted defeat since February 21. The one time the Hawkeyes faced superior athleticism from a top ranked opponent, Notre Dame blitzed Iowa 105-71 in South Bend. All six losses for Iowa were on a neutral floor or on the road.

Monday, April 1, 6 P.M.

Another priceless quote from HawkeyeNation:

Does Baylor have to start the half with 4 players till it gets close again?


LOL! They're barely talking about the game anymore. Just yapping about Kim's outfit and make-up now.


Whatever comforts you from getting your azz kicked...

They aren't used to southern fashion plates. More accustomed to stout, plain, farm wives.

No doubt classless, snide remarks.
I think they're just looking for humor at this point. No way are they gonna overcome a 26 point deficit with 5 minutes to go. Personally, I thought it was funny.

Sure is a huge free throw discrepancy for a team that's getting blown out. I have seen lots of basketball over the decades and have a hard time remembering such a stat. Unfortunately, I can't watch the game live. Is the foul discrepancy warranted in favor of Iowa?

Gustafson got her 1000 points. Needed 1026.

Let's get 90. When was the last time a team made it to the FF with a 90+ scoring average.

Gustafson only needs one rebound to break the double-double record but hasn't gotten a single one this half. Cox and Brown out now so maybe she will get it.

Anigwe and Gustafson- two double-double machines that we held to under 10 rebounds. Gustafson went the whole second half without one. Kinda wish she would've gotten it because she just seems like a wholesome person but not upset about it.

Good reasons to close the window and ignore anything those morons have to say.

Maybe I'm just too nice. Gustafson is obviously a great player and seems like an even better person. Like I said, I'm not upset it didn't happen but would've been cool to see history made I think.

So, in 2012 we were in the Final Four with Stanford, Notre Dame and UConn.

I'm kind of hoping that Stanford beats Notre Dame tonight and UConn in Tampa. With them being our ONLY loss this year, nothing would inspire Kim and the girls MORE than getting revenge on the trees.

Anyone else have a thought on who you would love to see us play next weekend, assuming that we can take care of Oregon?

I can think of good reasons to want to beat either one: you explained the Stanford motivation but the last two times Baylor played ND were losses in the Tournament.
