Is it Saturday yet?

Contemplating day one match ups:

Kentucky vs. Baylor

Oklahoma State vs. Notre Dame

BYU vs. Connecticut

DePaul vs. Texas A&M;

I'm most intrigued by DePaul-TAMU. DePaul is rising, and TAMU is back. It should be a good game.

Second up is Kentucky-Baylor. The last time these two teams saw each other, last Dec. 6, the Wildcats beat the Bears 133-130 in the highest-scoring game in NCAA history. What to do for an encore? Hopefully this game will be just as close as the last one.

Sunday's schedule:

Maryland vs. Tennessee

LSU vs. Louisville

Penn State vs. Stanford

North Carolina vs. South Carolina

NC-SC is interesting first because they don't even get to have a rivalry due to being in different conferences. The youth and athleticism of both teams makes for a great match up across the board, which should translate into an intense, physical game.

Penn State and Stanford also seem to match up well, and both have hungry senior stars in Maggie Lucas and Chiney Ogwumike, respectively. Ah, to be in Palo Alto.
