NCAA Tournament Picks: Some like Notre Dame to win the championship
As we saw on Thursday, President Obama has Pac-12 co-champion California, a No. 2 seed, upsetting top-seeded Stanford to advance to the NCAA Final Four in New Orleans. On the eve of the most exciting tournament in women’s college hoops, I thought I’d share a few more picks since seemingly everyone has weighed in on their lucky final four and overall champion. Here are a few I’ve gathered starting with mine. As you know, nothing is scientific. My granddaughter (via marriage) pointed at No. 7 seed Texas Tech to win it all.
Jayda Evans, women’s basketball reporter
Final Four: Baylor, Stanford, Kentucky, Notre Dame.
Winner: Stanford.
Ashley Corral, Washington Mystics guard and former Prairie HS star
Final Four: Stanford, Kentucky, Baylor, Notre Dame.
Winner: Baylor.
Lindsay Schnell, sports reporter at The Oregonian
Final Four: Stanford, Notre Dame, UConn, Baylor.
Winner: UConn (I believe Griner is beatable).
June Daugherty, Washington State head women’s basketball coach
Winner: Notre Dame.
Mel Greenberg, former Philadelphia Inquirer women’s basketball reporter
Final Four: UConn, Notre Dame, Baylor, Stanford.
Winner: Notre Dame.
