Message: [QUOTE="Sched234, post: 3821780, member: 9614"] I think SC can afford to lose to UConn and one SEC team (whether in conference play or the SEC tournament) and still get a #1 seed. Assuming both of those come true (not saying they will, just a hypothetical that I see as well within the realm of possibility), SC enters the big dance with 3 losses - likely enough for a #1 seed along with UConn, Louisville, and NC State. There are a few other teams, namely Maryland and A&M, that could also be in the mix for a top seed. There are stretches where SC looks elite, but the shooting could be a big problem down the road. They do rebound and defend very well; I think most of us expected a very ugly game today at LSU. That team is tough defensively, especially at home. You know, it’s funny — Boston had a big game statistically with 20/14 on >50% shooting, but it felt quiet. Probably because she had just one block, and lately it’s been a quiet game if she hasn’t had four or five. Much is made about Howard, and last year I agreed with her SEC POY win, but I really think that this year it should be Boston or Jones of A&M—whichever team wins the conference. I suppose TN also remains in the mix, but I’d be surprised to see that manifest itself. [/QUOTE]
