For your edification, here's a pretty good summary of the ladies' next game:

Executive summary: it will be Michigan's size versus Louisville's speed. Regrettably, they're playing in Louisville's arena, but that's what you get playing a #1 seed. It tips at noon. Go Blue!

Yikes....this game is a good reminder how much farther the Women's team has to go to be playing with the elite teams. Just completely unraveling 5 mins into the game.

I wasn't expecting anything today. Would a "fire KBA" help ignite a run?  There is a huge drop off in WBB after the top few teams.

Just another sign of the massive gap in talent in the game, even between a good Michigan team and a title contender in Louisville. When you look and see that 1 seeds have failed to reach the sweet sixteen only four times in the 30 years since the tournament went to 64 teams, today's outcome was fairly predictable.

I think we need to get at least a 6 seed to have a legitimate shot at getting to the Sweet 16.

But they sure turned their season around after that sloppy MSU game in January.  Hopefully they can keep that trend up for next season.
