S. Car. will have their hands full with the Huskies tonight.
I think it says just how good UCONN is. I said a couple of weeks ago they could go ahead and engrave the trophy and I haven't seen anything to cause me to think differently.

I'm not disagreeing with you Norm about UCONN, and I am not saying anything about UCONN being less than excellent. I expect them to be a #1 seed - probably #1 overall.
But if you deserve to be #1 in the polls, you should at least be competitive in a contest like this. S Carolina cannot score - and have not been able to all year.
The polls always - in all sports - overrate the SEC. Tonight - I believe - is more evidence of that fact.
South Carolina is a good team. They are not UConn. But, then, in recent years, only Notre Dame has given UConn much trouble. Stanford was at their house at a time when UConn really did not look good. This UConn that played tonight is awesome. You don't know who the best player might be, but nobody else has a Stewart or Jefferson.
Both of these teams return a lot of players next year which means we are likely to see both at the top of the polls next year as well.
UConn has commitments from three of the top twenty this year. I figure they will survive.
