Alexa Philippu, our women's basketball expert, where is your favorite place in the world to watch

your alma mater, Stanford, play ball?

There was a few years, I will say say that I really enjoyed when I actually had a spring break watching March

Mindness Games in a ruba or on a beach or something like that.

But I can't say I'm complaining that I'll be able to be in Portland for the

regionals and I'll be in stores for the first two rounds. It's something special

to be on site for these games so So I think that'll work out well instead of the beach.

The women's bracket is just about set.

What storyline are you most looking forward to in the next couple of weeks, this is your job and you are very

excitable about it. That's why you're here. For me, this season has been defined a lot of by

some of the inconsistency or uncertainty outside of South Carolina of course.

How does that translate into March Madness?

Does that mean there's a ton of upsets?

Does that mean we see one seeds, two seeds fall that we're not expecting?

And of course the ultimate question is does South Carolina finish the job?

Eight is pretty great and South Carolina has been fantastic at the SEC tournament.

An eighth SEC tournament. An eighth SEC tournament title.

Do they go undefeated and do they bring home that third title in seven tournaments?

So that's the one side of things and then I think the other

side is the star power in this sport is just so exciting and people are

becoming household nades from Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese to

Judy Watkins, Paige Beckers obviously.
