The only real first-round upset was Notre Dame over Arizona. But even that wasn't too surprising, since by the end of the season, the two were very close in the RPI.

Let's start in the West. LSU destroyed SW Texas, and they're now getting ready for Green Bay. Green Bay was thrilled to get past the first round; LSU will be its toughest challenge yet. Emotion overcame the Washington Huskies as their season came to an end at Green Bay's hands.

Pepperdine focused on containing Cheryl Ford and Trina Fierson, but that just allowed Erica Smith and Amber Obaze to surge and lead La Tech to the win. OSU played great defense, holding Weber State to only 33% from the floor.

Stanford dominated the paint in its win over W Michigan, and it hopes to do the same against Minnesota. Stanford's Susan King grew up just across town from the U of M; she's ready to beat her home-town Gophers. The Gophers are hoping not to repeat their performance earlier this year, when they lost to Stanford by 31.

Texas had no problem with Hampton's press and it won easily. Arkansas rallied to overcome a halftime deficit and beat Cincinnati.
