South Carolina should add to the list this year.

South Carolina should add to the list this year.

Getting to a final 4 is not easy. No guarantees for any team.

I didnt realize that Louisville had been to 5 final 4's.....

Oops, typo. KY has 2 schools -- Western KY has been to 3. Lou to 2.

In LA, Northeast La (now LA-Monroe) made it in 1985.

Add in the AIAW years of the 70s and I believe you can add 3 more to CT. As far as I am concerned. the days of Meyers, Lieberman, Harris and Blaze should count as well.

...and add one for South Carolina.

...and add one for South Carolina.

If i remember correctly that was with All American Evelyn "Sweetie" Johnson. the sister of Magic.

If South Carolina ends up with Oregon State or for that matter Washington with Kelsey Plum in their bracket they may not make the F4? Question if they can win where both teams score in the 80's. What happens if ND ends up as a 2 seed, which is possible. I can see the #1 seeds as South Carolina, UConn, Baylor and Oregon State.

Great memory; and Sheila Foster, who I still see at games occasionally.

Gonna be tough for Baylor to get a #1 seed. They are not likely to have a single win over a top 20 team.
Even with another loss, ND would get a 1 over Baylor in my book. At least the Irish have wins over Tenn, MD, and @UNC.

I actually had Sweeties home and away jersey from her playing days. only jersey i ever saw that had a nickname on the back.
