FORT WORTH, Texas — We have reached the point of women’s NCAA tournament proceedings where the busywork is all done and the five No. 1 seeds are ready to settle this thing. Yeah, I said five. Michigan deserves a promotion.
The Wolverines just played half of a great game and whipped third-seeded Louisville, 71–52 anyway. They have won their three tournament games by 35, 29 and now 19 points. They will be underdogs in Monday’s regional final, because they will play Texas in Texas, but they don’t see themselves that way, and why should they? They nearly beat UConn and UCLA earlier this year, and they are playing a whole lot better now.
