And to your point, Logan, this was a really tough path. They had to go through Notre Dame. They had to go through NC State. And her team is young and hungry and they're defensive. They've got a strong identity. And that defensive identity, like it was more than they just squeaked through and upset them. They held Notre Dame 28 points below their scoring average.

They held NC State 15 points below their scoring average. So, I mean, this is a team that heads into the tournament with a lot of momentum, a a really good, strong sense of self and their formula to success and kudos to them.

You know, look, Notre Dame, they're still those girls, you know, but I am concerned for them because they are limping into March. Their last two losses, Coach Neal Ivey has had to talk with the team for an hour post-game. This is what's standing out to me. It's not even just the losses.

It's the fact that Coach Ivy, there's reports from media that they've had to wait for the team to leave the locker room post-game, these losses, over an hour. That's a lot of talking, you know? And on one hand, I understand that Neal Ivy is trying to just impress urgency on her team so that they don't miss the moment that's right here for them.

But on the other hand, I feel like it's March, you know? And this isn't a team that needs to be talked into some kind of miracle. Like, they have every single thing they need to be a championship team. And ultimately, I think that the talk and the rally has to come from the Notre Dame players and the team themselves.

You can't just be a team that's beating your chest and talking big and all this and that when things are going well. You don't want to be a frontrunner. Like, you are being challenged right now. This is real adversity, and you're heading into a one-and-done scenario. So y'all got to double down on who you are. And I think that's what they got away from, their identity as a team that's defensive,

High energy, confident, has defense that creates offense and they can create high tempo, up tempo, pace, energetic situations where they can really just showcase their toughness. So they've got to dig right now.

Stephen Curry is unrivaled. Every time I see these announcements, I feel like it's like, so-and-so is unrivaled. But this is a big one. This is like a nod at the end of the season where it's like people got to view the unrivaled season, see what it was, and then was like, Yeah.

I need to tap. Exactly. And, you know, a shout out to Stephen Curry because he's been investing in the woman's game. And this is just continues the path that he's on.

You know, I think that the two teams that have the best chance of taking down the Owls might be the Rose and the Laces. And the Rose have been trending up to end the season. They go as Chelsea Gray goes. One of the most beautiful things I saw on Unrivaled is just that Chelsea's healthy. She's rejuvenated. She's playing with joy. And, you know, she's taking her teammates with her.

Angel Reese is so competitive. She's crushing the glass, but she's absolutely been improved on the offensive end in Unrivaled. But why I also think the Rose have a really great chance, their entire team is trending upwards. Role players like Brittany Sykes and Lexi Hull play with such motor. They play so hard, especially on the defensive end.
