She's leaving for sure. She doesnt have any NCAA eligibility left.
We won't know more until UCLA is done.. they cant officially talk with agents until after the NCAA tournament.
Aah...ok. Thanks for the information! 😊

Anna Stevenson has reached another level this season.

The NCAA tournament selection show is Sunday at 7:30pm CT. I think that’s 2:30 AM CET
Tomorrow's Matches
Florida vs Kentucky (Big Match) 12:00 PM CT (7:00 PM CET) SEC Network
Nebraska vs Wisconsin (Big Match) 4:30 PM CT (11:30 PM CET) BTN

Oregon-Oregon State 7:00 PM CT (2:00 AM CET) Pac-12 Youtube
UCLA-USC 9:00 PM CT (4:00 AM CET) Pac-12 Youtube
Florida-Kentucky may decide who wins the SEC... Florida needs to win both matches to win the title... Kentucky just needs to win one
Nebraska-Wisconsin will help who decides who wins the Big 10.... If Wisconsin wins, they will clinch at least a share of the title... If Nebraska wins, they will claim a share. Purdue needs Nebraska to win if they want a chance to win.
Kentucky-Florida will begin in about 40 minutes
I would like to see Stumler in Germany 😁

I have a stupid question. Could you explain how the NCAA works in general? Is that tournament like the Playoffs in the Bundesliga?

Sort of. It's a tournament of 64 teams, single elimination knockout. There's no set structure, so that's why there is a selection committee to decide who is allowed to participate (it can get controversial) and where teams are seeded.
Teams that win their conference are automatically qualified (Washington winning the Pac12, Wisconsin winning the Big 10, etc) (32 teams). The other 32 are chosen based on a variety of factors.
Primary Criteria
● Rating Percentage Index. (this is a math formula, found here)
● Head-to-head competition.
● Results versus common opponents.
● Significant wins and losses.
Secondary Criteria
If the evaluation of the primary criteria does not result in a decision, the secondary criteria will be reviewed. All the criteria
listed will be evaluated.
● Late-season performance (last 10 matches).
● Eligibility and availability of student-athletes.
● Location of contest.
They seed 16 teams. Each of these teams will host the round of 64 and 32 on their campus (Big advantage)
Teams are assigned to these sites by their strength, but also by their location.
Miami (FL) should host... and they'll get Florida teams in their section of the bracket, same with BYU and the Utah teams.
It's not seeded 1-64. The NCAA doesn't have the funds to have all of those teams travel like that.
Hopefully that all makes sense... its a lot lol
Here is the 2019 bracket (ignore 2020.. covid year shenanigans)
The top 16 seeds are awful.

Same as every year
Texas-Washington, Kentucky-Nebraska are a pairing (if they all win)
