Who? The Bulldogs of Georgia, colloquially known as the Lady Dawgs.
What? Urban legend says that Georgia was inspired by Yale's bulldog. Their dawg is known as Uga, which is a logical but awful-sounding name to give him.
Where? Athens, Georgia, home base for R.E.M..
When? Sunday the 20th, versus Middle Tennessee in Auburn.
Why? Georgia had a fairly good season, with no truly appalling losses and a couple of excellent wins against Kentucky, which was enough to give them a 6 seed. I think it'll be interesting to see how the Auburn folks treat them.
How? They were an at-large selection from the SEC.
Surprise? I always feel like they are, but they're really not.Who's driving this thing, anyway? Andy Landers, since 1979.

Statistically, to be brutally honest, this is not a very good team. Sophomore guard Jasmine James leads them in scoring with 12.1 per game, while senior forward Porsha Phillips averages a double-double with 11.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game- I also find her 81.7% free throw percentage remarkable.
