Bridgestone Arena (pictured) is home to some of the largest crowds in the NHL during the season. And while the Preds are trying to stay in playoff form with a few games left to go in the regular season, all talk in the Music City is on the NCAA women's Division I basketball 'Final Four' which begins Sunday.
Connecticut is among two unbeaten teams in not just women's Division I basketball, but all of Division I basketball. The Lady Huskies--and the men Huskies--are trying to do something they have done before: sweep Division I basketball championships. The men are playing right now while I'm blogging this, and the women take to the court on Sunday against Stanford.
The other unbeaten in D-I basketball is Notre Dame. The Lady Irish have tried the last few years to win a national title in women's basketball, including in 2011, where they lost in the national championship game at Banker's Life Fieldhouse Indianapolis to Texas A&M. The Irish have a surprising Maryland squad making their first(?) national semifinal appearance in eons(?).
Everyone wants a Connecticut-Notre Dame final like me to see who is the real unbeaten in D-I basketball this season. First, we all have to watch the games on Sunday.
With that in mind, the national semifinals on Sunday!
