UCLA was in Bridgeport last year. I would be surprised if the Committee sends them cross country to Albany this year.

I hope it is not Texas. Big, physical, very good guard play. One black eye is enough. Too much, actually.

I voted South Carolina. Last two National Champs meeting in the Regional Finals would create interest.

UCLA has been sent East two straight years. The committee likes to avoid doing that 3 times in a row, so I would agree they are unlikely. For similar reasons, SC is highly likely to be in Albany or Lexington.
 
Right now, SC looks like the 8th overall seed, which would make them the #2 seed in Albany. If SC loses in the SEC tournament prior to the championship game, they could be dropped to a 3 seed. By the same token, if the Gamecocks were able to win the SEC tournament over MS St, they would probably still be a #2 seed, but likely in another region.

I think it will be Baylor. They were getting some consideration for the last #1 seed. Their SOS is not great, with the recent injury, that #1 seed is gone regardless if they win their conference tournament. I don’t think they will beat Texas a 3rd time especially without Wallace. Tennessee and stanford don’t belong on the #2 line
 
Too early to tell. Will have a better handle after conference tourneys. Depends on what happens in PAC-12.

If Oregon or UCLA win PAC-12 championship i think one stays in Spokane and the other comes to Albany.
 
I think they'll bend to the geographic consideration and go with South Carolina, which isn't particularly fair to either us or the defending champs.
 
During today's LSU-TAMU game Charlie Creme said that if Tenn could beat S Car today and get to the SEC final game they might replace S Car as the 8th seed and go to Albany. That's almost enough to get me to root for them tonight. :rolleyes:
 
Tennessee as a 2 is a joke, but I’d take it.

Baylor as our 2 is a joke as well. They are a borderline 1 seed and should go where the lowest 1 seed is.

Even though we have played them, I think SC is our 2 seed. It makes for a good story. With A’ja, they are a 2. Without her, much farther down.
 
It will be the team who will send the smallest amount of fans. Albany will be sold out. The NCAA will send "drawing cards" to other areas.

So that made me think "Who is the lowest #1 seed?"

Louisville or ND???
 
As of now the top 8 are still:
1. UConn
2. Miss St
3. Louisville
4. ND
5. Baylor
6. Oregon
7. South Carolina
8. Texas

Unless something significant happens in the next few days to change this order, South Carolina will be sent to Albany because they can't be paired with Mississippi State.

But thats not gonna happen after tonight loss to SC. They were totaly outplayed by a depleated SC team in basically a home game. Russell was Russell and played at times and jogged up and down the court. Without Narried they would have gotten smoked by a lot, she is total hustle but gets away with alot of grabbing and slapping at balls.

Tenn will fall to a 4 as quite a few teams after them have opportunity to move up-Stanford (who will NOT be a #2 even if they win the PAC12, too many better teams to leapfrog), Ohio State and any one of Georgia, Missouri or Texas A&M if they keep winning.

Since we have already played SC this season why not put TN in the Albany region so that we can crush another SEC team that is so heralded by ESPN.

UConn also played Texas this season. It's gonna be SC or Texas, IMO. Doesn't matter that they played once in the regular season.

The only way Tennessee has any chance as a #2 seed is if Texas loses in Big 12 quarterfinals.

If SC wins the SEC tourney, they could move up a bit, or Miss. State could move down one slot so the there wouldn't be that #2 vs #7 pairing from the same conference.

Miss. State plays a big role in SC's placement, obviously. If South Carolina win the SEC tourney, that means they beat MSU along the way. One would think SC moves up, and a very slight chance that MSU moves down to the #3 overall seed as the ACC tournament champ gains some steam (and another elite win).

If Miss. State wins the SEC tourney to remain undefeated, I can't imagine they don't remain the overall #2 national seed. But, the committee could use their creative placement and justify their actions very easily as their guidelines prevent them from those conference pairings, especially at the 1/2 seeds.

Then the Gamecocks are going to Lexington.

I know you guys don't like Tennessee, but they are 8-6 against the RPI Top 50 and have two wins over SC, and wins over Texas, Georgia, A&M and Stanford. And, vie of those losses are to South Carolina, Miss. State, ND, Mizzou. and A&M. They are solidly on the 3 line, IMO.

I think the committee will pay attention to the fact that their 2 wins over USC were in games without A'ja Wilson.

Just about every team has had wins/losses when the opposition was without a key player. Great win for South Carolina yesterday, btw.

Personally, I think Tennessee has a great resume. I'm not gonna discredit their win over Texas just because Joyner Holmes wasn't yet back from suspension.

Crème said last night that Tennessee is safely on the 3-line. Mizzou moved down to the 5-line, while A&M has moved up to the 4-line. Georgia safely in as sub-regional host, and could help itself up to the 3-line with a win over SC today.

Five SEC teams will be seeded: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 4. Georgia the only team with a chance to improve their seed.
