I agree, it would be nice if Berkeley could go on the road and win a couple in the tournament. How much do you want to bet they'll be facing a home team on their homecourt? As in, they're the #7 to Gonzaga's #10 in Spokane? Or the 8-9, as Creme currently has them, at Notre Dame?
More generally, I get the sense that the Pac-12 women are being tarred with the same brush as the men, which is patently unfair. By RPI, the Pac-12 is the fourth toughest women's conference, ahead of both the ACC and the Big 10, trailing only the Big XII, the Big East and the SEC. In contrast, the Pac-12 men are TENTH, trailing the Mountain West, the Missouri Valley, the A10 and Conference USA, as well as the other 5 "power conferences".
