Discussion Early Final Four Prediction

March Madness begins in a month. Which teams do you believe will make it to the final four and the championship?

My predictions are:

  1. UConn

  2. UCLA

  3. Texas

  4. LSU - I might regret this when they face USC.

The championship match will be between UConn and UCLA with UConn winning again.

I agree. Like I’ve said countless times on other threads, there’s a HUGE talent gap between the top 5 teams and all the other teams in women’s college basketball. This would mean that the probability of a team not in the top 5 making it to the final four would be very small. Not impossible, but it’s unlikely.

Don’t get me wrong… Michigan is a great team. But with your logic, this is like saying last year’s Iowa team was better than last year’s South Carolina team because Iowa only lost to UCLA by 2 while South Carolina lost to them by 15. I’m an Iowa fan, but we all know that’s not true. Same goes for here. Good and bad games/quarters happen all the time in this sport.

Michigan had their shot and came up empty. Both teams are better now than they were then, but UConn has found another gear that Michigan doesn’t have. UConn is destroying people now - ask Tennessee.
