Once I start on something, I get obsessed about the ending.
Though Craig Finn may have been talking about binging prestige television, the line repeatedly comes to mind when thinking about this Iowa women's basketball run.
We know this incarnation will conclude:
- In the Sweet 16
- In the Elite 8
- In the Final Four (!)
- In the Natty
- On the podium
Five total outcomes, and we want to see it closer to the bottom than the top. And why the hell not? With 1-seed Stanford gone, 2-seed Iowa is the highest seed left in a regional that includes 5-seed Louisville, 6-seed Colorado, and 8-seed Ole Miss. Also absent? 3-seed Duke. It's a battle of stars aligning vs. best laid plans.
And it's been fun, hasn't it?
