Not a bad Final 4 and, even though almost everybody will be predicting UConn vs. TN, I see it the other way, especially with the way Stanford and LSU are playing now.
I predict LSU to win it all, with their 8 Seniors leading the way. In past years they were very dependent on 1 or 2 players to lead them to the title, but not this year. I hope Candace Parker is healthy for her next game!
Only time will tell who puts it all together next Sunday and Tuesday nights.
Will barely register a blip on the radar screen vs. the men's games next Sat. & Mon., but should be fun. Both Final Fours.
On a previous tread I thought Stanford and Tennessee would have a rematch in the finals, with Tennessee winning it all! But after the regional games, I changed my mind. I think Stanford and LSU will play in the finals, with Stanford becoming the Champions! Like I posted before, I don't think anyone can stop Candace Wiggins.
Tigers will beat Tennessee in the Final Four, they had their number this season beating them 2 out of 3 times, the way LSU beat UNC was impressive. I don't think anyone can score enough on LSU to win. If LSU can get some offence going they will easily beat win it all.
I hate to say it, but I agree with Drew. LSU is playing very well and I think that Parker will have a much harder time than people think, esp against a team that is going to play her physically. I think LSU will advance. Stanford, unless their last game was a fluck (unlikely as they have an average 20 pt winning margin with 4 players raining in 3's over 35%), will be very tough to beat and should advance. And unfortunately, I think they will be UConn and my Tigers.

LSU only played TN twice this year; won @ TN, coming from behind (2-21) to win by 17 or so pts., and then lost in SEC TCG.
The key to the outcome of this game will be Parker. Somebody on telecast last night said it took him/her a week to recover from their shoulder dislocation; Parker will have 5 days and is in the prime of her career so I'd bet she'll rehab and be ready to go. My only concern for her is that she disocated it twice in the same game. Could be tricky.
