As expected, the Rutgers women’s basketball team is headed to its seventh straight NCAA Tournament. The Scarlet Knights have received the number-seven seed in the Oklahoma City Regional and will host number-ten seed VCU in the opening round at the RAC on Saturday afternoon. I expect R-U to dispatch the Rams and move into Monday night’s second round to take on the winner of second-seeded Auburn vs. number-15 Lehigh. Obviously, the SEC’s Tigers will be prohibitive favorites to beat Lehigh…and I look for Rutgers to knock off Auburn for the right to go to the Oklahoma City regional semi-finals. The current host of talented Tigers have not won an NCAA Tournament game and will find the environment at the RAC tough to play in…not to mention having to play the Scarlet Knights who have been playing well as of late, led by the rejuvenated senior center Kia Vaughn.
