WNBA
Players' 2007 NCAA Tournament Picks
The
madness is here... It is finally March and the WNBA Draft is just a few weeks
away. But before WNBA teams make their decisions, the top prospects have one last
chance to show their stuff. But more than just a scouting opportunity, the annual
NCAA college basketball tournament is an event and WNBA players are getting their
predictions in early and their brackets filled out for posterity.

-
I picked TN to win it all because it's my alma mater for 1, and because I think
that after the loss in the SEC Tourney they will get together as a team and figure
out what needs to be done to win come crunch time.
- I picked LSU to beat CT
in Elite 8 because LSU seems to have a more efficient running game.
- Duke
has been at the top all year, so I know they'll make it to the big game. Coach
G always has her team prepared to enter battles, and this year will be no different.
-
North Carolina will advance behind Ivory Latta. This is her last year to shine,
so I know she'll take full advantage of helping her team advance through the tourney.

I think Duke will probably be in it at the end, perhaps Tennessee and UCONN,
but I think that last spot is probably going to be a surprise.
