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.
