No doubt there's serious interest. But, can't match her family ties to Vanderbilt. And, she'd be a sure-fire starter as a true freshman at Vandy in 2027; not sure that would be the case at UConn and even Texas based on the SG/W talent we've added for the upcoming seasons.

That's fair. As a sometimes "critical" fan of the program I support, I've seen Texas start games slow and fall behind, and then have to have to fight back to catch up and win. I've seen us gain early leads (some bigger than others) and then have to hold on for dear life in the final couple of...

Going into the season, I thought other teams in her Top 5 besides her mother's alma mater Vanderbilt would have a good chance to gain her signature. But, now, after the success the 'Dores have shown and the offensive productivity of Blakes and freshman Galvan, I have a hard time believing Ayers...

I agree with who has played better in February, and I said as much. I have no problem with Texas being seeded lower than those two teams; all three teams have gained some players back from injuries or an unexpected international mid--season enrollee since those games in November. It's easy to...

In a perfect world, yes. Last season it was a 2-seed UConn beating overall 1-seed UCLA 85-52, and overall national #2 seed South Carolina beating the overall national #3 seed Texas 74-57. Who expended the most energy to advance? In the end, you kind of want to avoid the team who is playing...

And, B1G versus B1G, as well.

That is the biggest advantage; if the seeds hold, the #1 overall would play the #4 overall in the Final Four semi's instead of the #2 or #3 overall seed. This post-season, if the Top 4 seeds are 1-UConn, 2-UCLA, 3-South Carolina and 4-Texas (could be Vandy) and all advance, then UConn would...

I would say it does matter more often than not. What about recent seasons prior to last year when UConn didn't win the title? Wouldn't you have hoped for different opponents (seeds) than the ones who ended up knocking the Huskies out of the tourney? This year, it probably doesn't matter as...

That's how it was done using the traditional S-curve in both men's and women's brackets. Women changed shortly after Big East members UConn and Rutgers faced off for the fourth time (I think) in a season culminating in an Elite 8 matchup as the 1/2 seeds in their region.

That is not "right", and hasn't been the guideline for several years. LSU cannot be in the same regional with SEC members, South Carolina and Texas/ Vandy as two of them are likely to be #1 seeds. So, LSU as a 2-seed is required to be paired with #1 UConn or #1 UCLA to avoid intra-conference...

Her most recent follows on Instagram were of more folks/accounts affiliated with Indiana.

The NCAA softball and women's volleyball committees do not make exceptions in their seeding of the Top 16 teams as it pertains to conference affiliations; they use the straight S-curve. Many fans/coaches want them to do what basketball does to avoid teams from the same conference meeting up...

While each committee is different, I don't get the feeling this one will drop UCLA from #2 if they go undefeated the rest of their B1G games regardless of what SC does in the in the SEC tourney; UCLA would also rack up some impressive wins in their conference tournament. In the end, it doesn't...

I get what you're saying, but I don't see that changing any time soon; it's been in place ever since UConn/Rutgers from the Big East were matched up as the top two seeds in the same regional years ago. And, that's how the men's tourney does it, too, I believe. UConn is going to get an SEC team...

Okeke started following Ohio State head coach on Instagram a couple of weeks ago; so, she's been pretty transparent with her "follows" as they seem to have led to official visits (Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Ohio State). Southern Cal could be next.
