jfc why is there basically no south carolina women's basketball celebration on tumblr when they just BEAT CAITLIN CLARK'S IOWA TEAM AND WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER AN UNDEFEATED SEASON so just gonna upload all the tiktoks my best friend sends me, sorry not sorry for spamming you all
To be young black and gifted. MiLaysia is a beast on the court, so happy she’s getting the recognition she deserves. Her and her girlfriend are such a stunning couple too ugh omg
my baby kate starting the game off with the first 5 points and one of them a three!
caitlin hitting those impossible jumpers 😭 god she’s so good
i started crying watching them walk off the court. the camera following into the tunnels with kate crying and caitlin holding her head up high has me SOBBING!!
south carolina played one HELL OF A GAME! they’re so cohesive as a team, the skill is unmatched. Well fought and deserved win. God these women are amazing.
Love women’s sports; Everyone watches women’s sports.
okay so i might be him bc my final four is still the same i got:
UConn
UCLA
South Carolina
Texas
ALBANY 1 - i think obviously albany 1 is the hardest to get through. you’re looking at a bracket with south carolina, who is absolutely untouchable - but we know that from last march, that might not stay true.
that being said, i don’t see south carolina experiencing an upset before the final four. dawn run that shit like that navy bro - that is a team whose talent and discipline run deep.
that being said, notre dame has been tough this season, even without olivia miles. oregon state has recently been really holding their own, but my teams to watch are oklahoma and fairfield for upsets. i honestly do see indiana making an early exit from the tournament, but who knows!
ALBANY 2 - rebecca lobo might be onto smth here saying this is the hardest region. if you’re not iowa, ucla, or lsu, this region is a fucking nightmare. even if you are one of those teams, this region is a fucking nightmare.
the reason i have ucla in the final 4 is because both lsu and iowa have the huge potential to choke. ucla has also just been a very good fundamental team this year. they’re just a more polished team than lsu, and while i don’t think they’re more polished than iowa, i think they have the power to shut them down defensively in the way ohio state did their first matchup. they have very solid pieces in charisma osborne, kiki rice, and of course, lauren betts.
obviously, i’d still keep an eye on kansas state, but i would also look out for princeton with a great court presence in kaitlyn chen, as well as wvu, who had a really strong start to the season.
PORTLAND 3 - this vanderbilt columbia play in is going to be the most interesting thing to me in the beginning stages of the tournament. vandy isn’t a perennial powerhouse by any means, but they’re housing a slam? all american in justine pissott, but i haven’t heard from them at all this year. columbia’s got a serious threat in abbey hsu, so that should be a really nice matchup to watch.
y’all already know who i’m riding for out of here, but i’m serious when i say march madness p is a whole different beast. for those of y’all who just started watching, you’re not fuckin ready bro. you’re not ready. that’s why i have such confidence that they can beat socal.
y’all remember 2021 baylor right? yo that was a STACKED ASS TEAM. didi richards, dijonai carrington, nalyssa smith, queen egbo - and paige made the bubble her bitch. that sweet 16 rematch is definitely scary, but paige doesn’t like to make a habit of losing to the same team twice in a row (unless that team is south carolina). ohio state only beat us without paige. they’re not fuckin ready for this shit bro.
PORTLAND 4 - TEXAS FUCKING FIGHT BABY Y’ALLLLLLLLLLL TALK TO ME SO FUCKING NICE BRO. Y’ALL SEE THAT 1 SEED RIGHT?? Y’ALL SEE THAT SHIT TOO??? yeah stanny WIN YOUR CONFERENCE AND MAYBE YOU’D GET A 1 SEED TOO LMFAOOOOOOO
nah but real talk we just cannot stop making stanford our bitch
lemme brag on my school real quick: we had a team in the cfp, BACK TO BACK vball nattys, and both our teams in the ncaa tourn - and one of them is a 1 seed.
and because we’re just so good at making stanford our bitch? i’m not fuckin worried about a fuckin pine tree bro fuck outta here
that said, i’d keep my eyes on nc state and tennessee in this region, they’re bound to stir some shit up for sure
anyway, that’s it for now!!!! i’ll see y’all soon, and happy march 😈😈😈😈😈
