A few (random) points...
1) For those attacking Charlie Creme for not being completely accurate in his bracketology, remember this thread. The Committee goes against its own rules at times, whether it be seeding, placement, geography, etc. He is not perfect, but Creme is VERY knowledgeable about the rules. It is not exactly fair to expect Creme to predict when and how the Committee will sway from its own rules/guidelines.
2) Maryland was always going to be a #3 seed, based on the early projections/Committee "first looks." Had Maryland been able to defeat Ohio State three times, it might have been a #2 (MD split the regular season meetings, then played Purdue instead of OSU in the B10 final). But even as a #2, it likely would have been the lowest seeded #2, meaning a date in Bridgeport.
3) Intentional or not, the committee has a twisted sense of humor. Lexi Brown transferred from Maryland to Duke, and the teams could meet in the Sweet 16. Azura Stevens transferred from Duke to UConn, and the teams could meet in the Elite Eight.
4) The last time UConn lost to a team in the NCAA Tournament in the State of Connecticut? At the time the game was played, Crystal Dangerfield was seven years old, Twitter did not even exist, Marisa Moseley had not started her coaching career, and Geno Auriemma "only" had five national titles. Safe to say that no matter who the opponent is, attempting to defeat UConn is an incredibly daunting task...doing so in CT would require a miracle.
