How's it going?

How's it going?

Yeah, because what you're left with when you don't have good data is a lot of hot takes and personality based coverage. And it's great to get to know the athletes and the coaches as people. It's important, but it's also very easy when you don't have any numbers or any analytics or any evidence for what you're saying, basically.

to just offer up a bunch of opinions which might be true or might not be true. Every time around this time every year, we hear simultaneously from people who say, wow, this team is so young and brash and inexperienced, they don't know enough to be afraid. And then at the same time, people on the same TV set are saying, wow, this team has senior leadership. It's so important to have experience.

And you're like, well, which one is true? And how do we know? And there's a million things like that. And there's no good excuse anymore, given the audience, given the interest, given the talent that's flowing into the game to have women's sports analytics lagging as far as they currently do behind their male counterparts.

I just want to say the great thing about that, about getting extra possessions, is there's a lot of work involved. And you can rebuild a team or build a team up, make it better. really quickly by focusing on players who are relentless at crashing the boards and working to get turnovers.

So you see a lot of what we call giant killers emerge by focusing on these effort-based tactics that really help you build that extra possessions and survive not being as good a shooting team as your opponent. I just want to say, you know, everybody has their complaints about who should have gotten number ones and who should have been seated higher.

Nobody remembers that if you're going to see somebody high, you kind of need to see somebody lower or say something that should have been seated lower. Well, here you go. I love North Carolina State's story from last season, but there's no way they should be a two seed.

You can name a half a dozen teams off the top of your head probably that are better, including the number three seed here, LSU, who I think has – I mean, there's nobody tougher. And they've got a great – maybe the great best three-player combination in the country. They're obviously going to be a real threat to –

It pains me to say Michigan State like Jordan did because, you know, in the first round they faced Harvard and Harmony Turner is one of my favorite players in the whole country. And they were a lot of fun to watch. And they finally, after narrow losses, narrow misses in the Ivies the last couple of years, finally made the tournament.

So I was all set to go somewhere and pronounce that Harvard was going to be a great giant killer. But they're going to run into Michigan State, and I like that pick a lot. He's being modest, by the way. That's his alma mater.
