I’m a OSU fan today against UConn I don’t believe it. Believe it, Gino is used to beating teams to a pulp with all of his big players. This year no guards....MUST have good guards in today's game

Elite Eight!!!! One of the biggest wins in program history. UConn had made 16 consecutive Elite Eights and 14 consecutive Final Fours. That defense is a pleasure to watch and these gals are playing with such confidence.

If anyone had Florida Atlantic going to Final Four, congrats Easiest final four run in the history of March madness. Not saying the teams they beat weren’t good, but they didn’t have to run through a gauntlet.

Indeed they did, convincingly! This team is loaded with great talent and that talent is stepping up in a big way. 28 wins and counting, but they will have to really bring it vs. Virginia Tech!

Absolutely need good guards to advance far in the tourney . Jacy having not played much in the season is pretty fresh. Hitting her stride . Their press ,,, is a game changer vs a team with suspect ball handlers .

UConn wracked up 31 wins this season, defeating #3 Texas, #10 NC State, #4 Iowa and lost by only 4 to undefeated and top ranked South Carolina. No matter how good their guard play is, this Buckeye defense will present problems for anybody.

Except for VaTech I'm afraid. They are much more like Ohio State than UCONN. And have THE best PG I've seen this year.

No question, Georgia Amoore is one of the better guards they will face this year. Amoore was named ACC mvp. Jacey Sheldon is one of the better defenders in the game, so it should be an interesting matchup.

Just as everyone predicted, there will be a 4 seed, two 5 seeds, and a 9 seed in the final four.

I was reading some articles and comments on different sites and see a lot of people complaining about how boring of a final four this will be and how bad the TV ratings will be, etc. But then if it had been Duke and Kansas and UNC and teams like that making it, those same people would probably complain about it always being the same teams making it every year(like football). Personally I'm loving this final four, it's been fun watching these teams that you don't really watch play during the season. And almost all the games seem to be coming down to the last seconds.

It will be interesting to see the ratings, since these fan bases are much smaller. I like the mix up and what this year has provided.

Ratings are the TV networks issue to worry about. For me this has been a very fun tournament with tons of great games and lots of upsets and that is what I enjoy. Especially since OSU isn't in it. I'll enjoy rooting for Florida Atlantic to bring it home this weekend.

If they win this year, it'll be same amount of Titles as Duke/UNC, and 2 more than Kansas in last 50 years

I see Jaedon LeDee made the right choice when he transferred from Ohio State to San Diego State. On a guard oriented team, he's the leading scorer among the forwards that play for them.

Jacey Sheldon is one of the better defenders in the game, so it should be an interesting matchup. Ohio State had no answer for Amoore and Kitley, other than to foul. VaTech made 9 more free throws. All else was even in the game.

Wow! Is all that can be said of the Iowa/South Carolina game! South Carolina has been dominating in all of their 36 of their wins and on a 41 game win streak, going back to last year. Iowa, led by Caitlin Clark, the National POY, put on a clinic with assists and scoring 41 points a tournament record. Iowa's the best passing team I've seen all year, men or women!

UConn has looked impressive during their run. My heart says Aztecs, but Huskies take the cake Monday Night

Caitlin Clark is the most complete player I have seen on the hardwood this year, men or women. What a great passing team, Iowa is. A true pleasure to watch....what a great game, bringing down the unbeatable.

I like UConn in this. Final Four for women had the cream of the crop on top, with #1,2 and 3 seeds.
Men's has been quite the surprise this year. Great teams during the season aren't necessarily good tournament teams and we are seeing this to be the case this year.
