But that's probably a reach.Every year in WBB there are 10 to 15 teams that are on a level where we probably just can´t beat them. Then there is a drop off. What that means is sometimes you can get a ¨beatable¨team with a 14 seed, but almost every year there is a winnable game with a 13. In 05 we were a 13 and got Penn State, and I wouldn´t even call that win an upset. We were a better team. Same with Depaul in the second round. LSU unfortunately was another matter.

But that's probably a reach.Even at a 14 seed we're potentially playing the 9th to 12th best team in the country. There is nobody in the top 20 that we can beat, sorry. I liked our chances a little more before Emily Frazier went down. She was playing with great confidence and with great effectiveness. It's not to say things can't happen and we play out of our mind (ie make our shots) and the opposing team takes us too lightly.
