I was disheartened and disappointed by the Lady Vols failure to reach the "Elite Eight". I was hoping they would win one for their former and legendary Tennessee women's coach -- Pat Summitt, but it was not meant to be again this year. The Lady Vols remain sans a championship since 2008. The women's NCAA Basketball Championship now having eluded the Lady Vols for 6 consecutive years. As I stated that the last time they won a championship was 2008 and coach Summitt had not yet announced her medical condition which broke all of our hearts; early onset Alzheimer's disease! Last year the Lady Vols did reach the "Elite Eight" but lost to Louisville 86-78.
The Louisville region busted my bracket entering the second and third rounds. Incorrectly I picked Tennessee to beat Maryland. I also had the audacity (despite my better thinking) to pick WVU over regional-host team Louisville. My bad!
So my "Elite Eight" in this women's tourney took a bit of a beating. However, I have to boast about the fact that I picked three out of four regions correct-a-mundo (Thanks, Fonzie, for the saying); those three regions (Lincoln, Notre Dame & Stanford) so far have not let me down!
So we continue down the road to the women's "Big Dance"!...
