Who is earning a trip to Dallas for the Final Four? Both Elite Eight matchups in the women's tournament Sunday are loaded with stars. Who are going to be the difference-makers? darcangel21 makes her picks:

If you’re unfamiliar with betting numbers, the general idea is you subtract whatever the number is from the score, and that should make it even. So “LSU ” basically means the Tigers should win by 10 points against Miami. The .5 allows you to pick a side, so there are no ties. In short, the team with the “-” number next to it is giving the other team that much of a lead in this figurative world. If “PK” is listed, it means the teams are rated even strength and it’s a straight win or loss pick.

It was a successful strategy against Villanova’s less than athletic interior, but LSU’s frontcourt is bursting with athleticism and it won’t be as easy. The Tigers are averaging 6.1 blocks and 10 steals per game, and the Hurricanes turned the ball over 21 times against the Wildcats. They have to take better care of the ball against LSU.It’s no secret the majority of the Tigers’ points come in the paint. They’re also good at keeping opponents from scoring in the paint.
