More from NCAA

The two discuss the weekend ahead in Seattle, where Final Four contenders like Oregon and UCLA vie for better NCAA seeds, and a dark horse, USC, looks to put a bow on an unexpectedly strong season.

Exactly what UCLA’s ceiling might be, given the talents of Jordin Canada and Monique Billings, whether UCLA or Oregon is better-positioned for a deep NCAA run, exactly how Tara VanDerveer keeps on winning every year, and just what makes Scott Rueck’s Oregon State team so dangerous all come up.

But the two also discuss the rest of the conference. Just how does Washington take down California? Jody Wynn’s three-heavy offense comes up. Can Utah and Washington State overcome adversity and make some noise? And why is USC so good this early in their rebuild?

Get ready for the exciting weekend ahead in Seattle. And, as always: if you like what you hear, don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast.
