I am faring much better with the women's 2014 NCAA March Madness (Bracketology).
The men's 2014 tourney has once again been plagued with too many 'Cinderella' teams and/or those teams who just did not show up at all. Shame on them! Their (men's) tourney has busted way too many brackets and done so way too early.
Anyway...the women's tourney is the one I should have bet money on for certain.
I know the teams much better and the teams to bet money on are usually perennial favorites.
Seldom any 'Cinderella' teams in the women's tourney. But we welcome them with open arms whenever they do show up; keeps it interesting -- plus it is rare with the women as previously stated!
Connecticut with coach Geno Auriemma at the helm of their NCAA basketball dynasty is usually a surefire bet every year. A dynamic-force for the last couple of decades.
But throw in Baylor and their coach Kim Mulkey and everything is up-in-the-air. The Baylor (women) have won this tourney twice so far: 2005 and 2012. A good deal for the Big XII!
But wait...don't ever count out Stanford either. The Cardinal is eager to earn another birth into the 'Final Four' with hopes of winning "the Big Dance"; 1992, I believe, was the last year that the Stanford women won this infamous tourney.
But it would be remiss of me to forget (and I never do, never will forget) the Lady Vols of Tennessee! Their former, all-great, coach-of-all-time -- Pat Summitt made this basketball fan a true fan of the Lady Vol's basketball program. Pat is the best coach in men's and women's NCAA/NBA/WNBA basketball. She put Tennessee on the proverbial map!
I welcome another classic women's tournament with UConn and Tenn vying for it all!
So...here is my women's bracket going into the 'Sweet Sixteen':
