Well, with the men going down to Syracuse 78-67 this morning in the 2nd rd,our girls are the only one left, some Pac 10 notes.Stanford as expected cruise into the 2nd Rd beating UC Santa Barbara in San Diego last night 74-39.Stanford will meet SDST in the 2nd Rd tomorrow.!0th seed SDST behind former Cal player Jean Morris upset 2nd seed DePaul 76-70.
Cal also rolled beating outmatched Fresno St in the Galen Center in L.A. 70-47 setting up a 2nd Rd matchup with Virginia.Aisha Mohammed had 14 pts, 10 rebs in Virginia's 68-61 win over Maist.ASU heavily recruited 6-3 Mohammed a few yrs ago when she played for CAC in Coolidge Az, we almost got her but she ended up in Virginia.
Some other interesting names of note, Mandy Morales ended her brilliant college career at Montana scoring 11 pts, 4 Rebs & 8 dimes in Montana's 64-35 loss to Pittsburgh, for you that don't remember Morales signed a LOI with ASU in 2004 but got a release from her LOI when she went back to Montana after a couple of weeks at ASU.
12th seed Gonzaga upset 5th seed Xavier 74-54 in Seattle.Gonzaga was led by 6-2 Heather Bowman's 23 pts.Bowman played at Lewis & Clark HS with Bri in Spokane a few yrs back.I was hoping at that time ASU would recruit Bowman but ASU chose to go in another direction.
I put a link to the ASU-FSU matchup tomorrow, don't know to much about FSU, they won the ACC.FSU has some good depth and like to shoot the trey, led by 5-10 guard Alysha Hardin,they don't look to have the same kind of depth we have on the low post, they start 6-4 J Moore at center, hopefully we can slow down their guards and take it to them in the low post like we did Georgia.
