2011 Women's Final Four Games Today

The 'menz' played two dynamite national semifinal games yesterday at Reliant Stadium and today it is the women's turn in the spotlight. 

Their national semifinal games are a pair of 1 vs 2 seed matchups at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to decide who meets for the national championship on Tuesday night.

Did a better job on my 2011 NCAA women's bracket in that two of my teams are still alive along with the team I picked to win the title.

There are also some interesting storyline in today's games as well.   UConn's drive to a threepeat will be severely tested in another knock down drag out battle with their Big East rival Notre Dame.  

Notre Dame is playing in their first Final Four since they won the 2001 NCAA title.   To get to this one they knocked off number 1 seeded Tennessee to play what amounts to a home game not far from their South Bend campus.  Skylar Diggins hopes she and her Fighting Irish teammates can win a national championship in her home state.

First time Final Four participants Texas A&M finally beat their nemesis Baylor after losing three previous games to get here but their reward was taking on Stanford.  

The Cardinal have made it to their fourth consecutive Final Four and hope they finally have the talent to get over the hump and bring that title back to the Left Coast.  

H-town's Ogwunike sisters will do their part to help ensure that happens for the Cardinal while the Aggies Danielle Adams and Houstonian Sydney Colson will do their part to try to bring that title back to Aggieland.


The action will be on ESPN, and I'm looking forward to seeing some great games today.
