I want Stanford or a new program to be champions, so rise and shine Cardinal, Oregon, Ohio State, Louisville, Baylor, Marquette, Florida, Pittsburgh and San Diego.
Sorry, Houston.

Elite Eight so far:
Texas / Marquette
Ohio State / Minnesota
Wisconsin / Penn State
Pittsburgh / Florida
San Diego / Kentucky
Stanford / Houston
Louisville / Baylor
Oregon / Nebraska
So we have our Elite Eight.
Talking about history and tradition, 3 teams out of 5 already were national champions. We have 62,5% of chance right now to be watching a brand new champion program.
Stanford is looking for their 10th title.
Texas is looking for their 3rd title.
Wisconsin is looking for their second title in a row.
About the other 5 programs, 4 of them already made it to a Final 4:
Oregon -> national final in 2012.
Ohio State -> national semifinals in 1991 and 1994.
Louisville -> national semifinals in 2021.
Pittsburgh -> national semifinals in 2021.
And...
San Diego -> made it to regional finals (Elite Eight) for the first time in their history in 2022.
any surprise predictions for elite 8?
I expect all favorites to win.

San Diego and Pitt both win.
San Diego was pretty impressive. I really worry them for my beloved Stanford.
San Diego and Pitt both win.

With their fighting spirit, Louisville took the first set!
Pukis outplaying Lazaro!
Louisville won an exciting five set match (well the fifth set wasnt exciting)
They had 8700 people in the stands, it was a lively crowd
Texas / Ohio State
Pittsburgh / Wisconsin
San Diego / Stanford
Louisville / Oregon
I was hoping for Ohio State to upset Texas, because I don't want Eggleston to be NPOY; she would be the weakest of the last couple of years IMHO.

If San Diego wins tonight, my vote is going to Blossom.

Blossom vs Miner will be the battle inside the battle.
And Pitt are the frauds we all knew they were smh
Orzol gives me Erika Coimbra vibes, just like Miner gives me Alisha Glass vibes.
Miner gives me Alisha Glass vibes.
this is offensive to alisha lol

Not saying she's as goos as Alisha was while playing for Penn State.
Miner has a similar approach IMHO: she runs under the ball and sets from any spot of the court with her strong arms.
Meanwhile, the refs are awful. Every controversial decision is going to Wisconsin.
