ANOTHER PARETO DISTRIBUTION EMERGES.

Earlier this week, we saw four tournament perennials qualify for the finals in the men's basketball tournament.  "It might not be possible to fill in a perfect bracket, and yet, a fan has a better chance of having a shot at the big prize if the entry has traditional strong programs, even if not high seeds, in the Final Four."

Them that has get, only more so, in the women's tournament.  "With all the upsets that occurred during the women’s NCAA Tournament this year — a record number of double-digit seeds won — three No. 1 seeds and No. 2 seed UConn remain."

The three one seeds are several-times-champion Stanford and South Carolina, as well as tournament regular Louisville.  Connecticut ousted the other one seed, North Carolina State, last seen in the finals during the Kay Yow era.

Would it be churlish of me to raise the possibility that all the talk of "equity" that's pushed on (self-selected?) fans of the women's game ends in the recruitment of highly talented players?
