Nwosu and Aluma held up well against Wallace and Stackhouse for most of the game. And Hildebrand went off. In fact we were still winning with 8 minutes left as I recall. We kind of ran out of gas down the stretch and they picked up a lot points at the free throw lane. Lost by 20 unfortunately.
For women, Tennessee was #1 in 98.

With only 2 undefeated teams, you don"t match them up in first round, regardless of strength of schedules. They should not have been placed in same region.Actually, you do to get more interest in the 1/16 matchup. And it worked well for ratings at the time.
