What they look like to me...

In my opinion...

The Men look like an Elite Eight Team. I think they are as hyped as the 2005-06 team. I think they have some work to do. I expected to see a Final Four team, but I don't see that yet. They are good, but not Elite yet. I think their ranking is well deserved, and will rightfully be put to the test vs BIG EAST teams soon. I would like to see the team dominate teams more. They are winning, but I don't feel like they are dominating the way they could yet.

The Women look like a Final Four Team and I'll say should get to the National Championship game. They are exceeding my expectations. I was very impressed with how the women played so far. They are better than what I expected them to be this year so far. They were clearly better than Texas A&M and Stanford. They have some work to do vs Baylor, but I was impressed they held the lead in the second half. Notre Dame will be an interesting match-up and another good measuring stick.

Both have some work to do though.
