SportsNation: 16 Candles Still Lit


 Lindsay Whalen
Lindsay Whalen shook off some rust and led the Gophers to Norfolk.
The road to New Orleans has little room for sightseers.

The NCAA Women's Tournament has trimmed a field of 64 hopefuls to 16 contenders, each looking for a trip to the Final Four.

And while the first two rounds didn't produce a bundle of last-second finishes, there were plenty of impressive performances and compelling storylines.

Have any of the top seeds shown signs of weakness? Will the field's lone true Cinderella survive a trip to Hartford and a date with Geno Auriemma's Huskies? And did the Selection Committee forget about Lindsay Whalen and Nicole Powell when handing out seeds?

Action in the regional semifinals gets underway on ESPN and ESPN2 on Saturday, but we want to know what you think about what has been and what's to come.

  • 1) Which regional semifinal pairing promises to provide the best game?
  • 2) Which upset is most likely to occur?
  • 3) Which top seed was least impressive in the first two rounds?
  • 4) What was the best game of the first two rounds?
  • 5) Who was the most impressive player through two rounds?
  • 6) Who will win the East?
  • 7) Who will win the Mideast?
  • 8) Who will win the Midwest?
  • 9) Who will win the West?
