This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They did, but lost to a 9 seed in that round. If it had been by Domerduck

1 seed Indiana they would have met expectations, but my comment was that they lost to a worse seed, which was true. If LSU also loses tomorrow to Miami I would claim the same thing, but I don't think that will happen as the SEC was more of a test than it was rated and seeded. I wasn't surprised Miami beat Nova, but I think LSU will handle Miami. Hope not as I want Katie Meier in the Final 4 a lot more than Kim again and her crazy outfits.

The reason I care about the conferences in the women's game is because a good conference prepares the teams to compete. The ACC certainly did that for their teams this year and only injuries slowed down teams success in the tourney (ND, NC State, & FSU). I expected the PAC12 to do better like previous years but it didn't pan out. Big East & Big 12 were overrated and I think their tournament performance proved it. SEC also overperformed so far but the next 2 days matter. And the Big 10 needs to show this year they belong or else I'd consider them overrated as well.
