Red aplenty in the storied Huntsman Center Friday evening.
No 15 has ever won in the women’s tournament.
Shock the world ladies.

What a disrespectful seeding. 15 seed and you have to go play in Utah verse the home team.

Top 4 seeds all host in women's play. A 15, ok, but keep us east of or near the Mississippi in Iowa City, Storrs, or College Park.
Was hoping to get the 14 and play in Durham. We obviously were the best 15 since we are playing the weakest 2. Means we were very close to the 14 seed we were expecting.
Go shock them, they got bounced early in the Pac 12 tournament and have been sitting around longer than we have.

The seeding was a bit disrespectful. Hope we play with a chip on our shoulder.

#4 scoring offense in Utah against the #21 scoring offense in GW.
Both nearly dead even in scoring defense at #220 and #221 respectively.
Difference maker possibly is we are #7 nationally in forced turnovers with 21.76 while Utah is #161 with 16.1 per game. They protect the ball a little better than us, only 14.1 turnovers per game compared to our 15.4.
We like to hang our hats on pressure defense, which is a must here. Most all of their guards are over 6’ and they have interior players at 6’4” and 6’5”. We can’t start slow either, if we do it’ll get ugly and out of reach in short order.

The two taller girls don't play that much, the starting guards are under 6' and Pili is barely 6'. Utah is an undersized team.

A disappointment we weren't able to get a closer draw so more fans could reasonably make the trip, but not to be. We'll have to get out of the gate playing our absolute best on both ends of the floor to hang in there. Best of fortune Ladies!

When we play LSU in Greenville in the sweet sixteen, we can all go. |

Simple facts, nobody can compete playing 5 against 8. The officiating was absolute bullshit all game. A sad way for our seniors to end their careers by a group of zebras desperately needing top seeds to advance to keep interest in the women’s tournament. Kudos to Simmons for not tearing any of the three useless refs a new orifice.

Hate to see the season end, but it was a hell of a run.
