other. Yes, we seem to be standing head and shoulders above the field. Well, more like head above the field. But, I'd be very nervous if/when we meet usc, ND, UT, in the the tournament. I feel like we'd beat UConn, but they're very good. And, I've only watched LSU once, they lost to SoCaro, but I wonder if their quickness might give us trouble. SoCaro could beat any of the teams I listed, but I think we're a bad match up for them. All those teams are very close to each other.
To me, that's kind of a tier. Then you get to Ohio State, TCU, etc, and those teams, to me, are a clear notch below. Like, I would be gobsmacked if any of us, sc, SoCaro, UConn, ND, and I'd probably put LSU in there - if they don't make the Elite 8. Anyone else, it would largely depend on their seeding. TCU has a 6'7" 7th (yes 7th, according to the announcers) year Senior who leads the country in blocks + Hailey Van Lith - they've got a chance to make a deep run, but to me, they're the top of the next tier.
Otherwise, thanks for the info on OSU!
