Baylor loses, but likely means nothing,

So what happens if UCONN loses? Could they move to a #3 and go somewhere other than Portland?

They would probably mover to a lower #2 seed, but still wind up in Portland. The committee seems to have the top teams locked in already. Just getting to the final guarantees that the top teams won't drop down a seed. Just ask Baylor!

They’ll be a 2 seed in the WNIT or a 15 seed on Pluto depending on who wins the MEAC tournament.

I thought about the Big Sky, but Kola Bad Bear is currently my favorite name in basketball and want to hear it on national TV for at least a game, so I don’t want to jinx Montana State with my snark. I have no vested interest in the MEAC. :rolleyes:

I was thinking you were talking about a mascot, then I looked the name up... :p

South Carolina lost to Indiana by 14, 71-57. Everybody played for SC. Yes, I realize Indiana is ranked.

The team that lost Indiana didn't return from St. Thomas. That was a LONG time ago for team filled with talented freshmen. You want to take the Hoosiers in that rematch tomorrow?
 
I have to think Oregon completely throttling a potential 2 seed Stanford has moved them ahead of Baylor who just lost to unranked Iowa State?

My guess is we will go to 1. Dallas 2. Fort Wayne 3. Portland

Or, alternatively, UConn could beat them.

Yes, UConn could beat the top three teams, but their odds would be considerably less than say a comparable team that unlike UConn would not start with a matchup disadvantage. As I stated in my post, matchups, and timing are two mitigating factors with respect to any team's odds of beating a better team. Timing factors such as catching the other team on an off day while they, in contrast, play their A-game, would certainly have more wiggle room if the teams match up favorably, to begin with.

I'll go vegan for a year month week day if they give Gonzaga a #2 seed. The best team they beat all year is Missouri State.

I’m surprised you don’t think you can survive on Krispy Kremes for a full week. :rolleyes:

South Carolina was very beatable in November/December.

I'm not sure anyone is "unbeatable" this season.

I do think South Carolina is a much better team now than they were early on. But if you have an experienced team with a good zone defense and keep us off the offensive board and manage transition then you got a shot.
 
I would have loved to know what Mulkey was saying to that ref after that foul call with virtually no time left on the clock.
 
Is it just me or does Creme sound positively gleeful as he explains how the seeding rules force the Huskies to be placed all the way out in Portland and nothing can be done about it. What’s up with this guy? The whole thing just smacks of jumping on every possible excuse to make things as hard as possible for UConn. I think they are tired of UConn’s dominance. I’m looking forward to seeing their faces when the Final Four comes around and we are there! Boy, would I love to see that! However, they are going to have to deal with UConn for quite some time even if we don’t make it this year! Anyway, I just didn’t like the smug way he explained why we are going to Portland!

@Plebe do you have quick reference to previous seasons for teams with similar win-loss records vs Top 25 and Top 50 (Q1) as this year's UConn team?

I acknowledge performance of top teams will differ from year to year and seeding is based on performance relative to the other teams but I am interested to see what those similar team's seeding were? I am going to assume not a No. 1 seed and unlikely to be a No. 2 seed.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I was giving this some thought. I don't have any quick reference on this. It would really require taking a deep dive into the old team sheets, which isn't really quick. I'll see what I can come up with over the next few days.

I see a potential shift in Portland. If Stanford loses twice in a week, although both to the big O, can they stay on the 2 line. If they and UCLA fall off, can they be replaced by NC State and Gonzaga. If that's possible, Gonzaga gets the 2 in Portland, NC State in Greenville (DARND!) and UConn in Ft. Wayne. and If I'm right I want ESPN to pay me Charlie's money!

Everyone is looking for a way in which UCONN can get placed in Md’s bracket. Don’t blame them I suppose.

That's why they invented spreadsheets ;). I specifically mentioned quick reference, as it is not that important.

Has anyone discussed what happens in the scenario Baylor loses during the conference tourney? Are they still a 1 seed?

If yes, the irony of that being due to Louisville also losing in their conference tourney would be too much (some would say even a conspiracy).

If no, where do Baylor, UConn, Stanford and NC State/UCLA go then?

Who would they drop behind? They would have three losses just like us. Maybe Maryland moves up a spot, but UConn will always be behind Baylor because Baylor won the head to head.

They would have to drop below both Maryland and Louisville. I agree they will still be ahead of UConn, as per the order in which I listed them.
