Let's say that you're Megan Griffith.

In which situation would you rather be? A #9 seed playing a #8 West Virginia team or a #12 facing another #12 in Vanderbilt?

I mean, sure it's the oft-denigrated play-in game. But at this point in your program's development, I think what you really want is a WIN, any win. Who cares if it's the play-in game? A dub is a dub.

And now you get to play a #12 seed. Jeez, it's like you've been seeded #5 yourself.

And don't put it past Columbia to beat Baylor, either. Every time I see Abbey Hsu on ESPN+, I am more impressed. Princeton won big on Saturday in large part because the Tigers crafted a customized switching strategy revolving around keeping the right defenders on Hsu, independent of the switches on the other four Lions on the floor.

Will Vanderbilt or Baylor game plan the same way without the benefit of having played Abbey Hsu eight times over the last three years, as Princeton has? I doubt it.

Author: Spirit ‘24 [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:06:27 03/18/24 Mon I like Columbia to beat Vanderbilt and Princeton to beat West Virginia. And obviously, Columbia has a much better chance of upsetting Baylor than Princeton does of shocking Iowa. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
