Pregame Interviews
***************************************************
4 seed Texas A&M is taking on 13 seed Wright State at 4:00 Friday. What makes this interesting is to see how Chennedy Carter is doing after having surgery on her shooting hand pinky. She had pins inserted and I can't imagine it won't impact her game.
Of course the 7 seed Rutgers going against 10 seed Buffalo is of interest to all UConn fans as the Huskies take on the winner in the next round to get to the Sweet Sixteen. Rutgers continue to play without their head coach C.Vivian Springer, who is done for the season due to health issues. The Scarlet Knights should win this one, but I wouldn't be surprised with an upset here.
This game will, of course, interest me. 6 seed UCLA plays 11 seed Tennessee. While UConn fans are all bent out of shape with a 2 seed, can you imagine how the over inflated minds of the Lady Vol fans feel about an 11 seed? UCLA is playing great basketball right now and should be a big problem for the under achieving Tennessee team. That being said, I would love to see UConn play them in the Sweet Sixteen in Albany.

Getting to the 12th straight Final Four is not nearly as impossible for UConn as some "fans" think. Here are the four steps that would be needed.
Step 1 - Beat Towson (20-12)
Step 2 - Beat either Buffalo (23-9) or Rutgers (22-9)Step 3 - Beat one of the following. UCLA (20-12), Tenn. (19-12), Maryland (28-4) or Radford (26-6)
Step 4 - Beat one team from the top of the bracket. Best three are L'ville (29-3), Oregon State (24-7) or Gonzaga (28-4)
Here is Geno's record against each team:
Towson 1-0
Buffalo 2-0
Rutgers 34-6
UCLA 5-0
Tenn. 13-9
Maryland 6-0
Radford n/a
L'ville 16-1
Oregon State 2-0
Gonzaga n/a
Win four and go to Tampa. Any loss, go home. Tough but doable...
Go Huskies..!!
