Raleigh, N.C.- Call me crazy, but I thought I read something about the Terp women’s basketball team being the prohibitive favorite in this region.
I guess after their near loss Saturday to Vanderbilt in the Sweet 16, people aren’t so high on them anymore. According to superbook.com, the Terps are 2 point underdogs against Louisville in the Elite Eight tonight.
(Just in case you were wondering, I don’t use this site or any others like it. In fact I’ve never even visited it before. I just heard from a friend.)
Anyway, this came as a slight shock to me because talent-wise, Louisville can’t match the Terps. I don’t think anyone would argue that, even Cardinals coach Jeff Walz, based on his comments yesterday.
Then again, if the rest of the Terps other than Marissa Coleman have underwhelming games like they did Saturday, Louisville will be the team going to next weekend’s Final Four.
