That's pretty rough. We'd better secure #1.

how so?

From someone on the west coast, I do not think Stanford belongs up that high. I would replace them with Washington or even USC(west coast).

Yes they are fading fast, but at least I'm not as bad as the ap which has them at 16.

Obviously the place that alot of the ranked teams want to go to is Greensboro ND, UNC, Duke, Louisville, South Carolina, TN, KY, UGA, MD, and WVU all would love to be playing here in the Regionals.

Why you want to treat Baylor like that?

A 2 seed not good enough? Or are you afraid of the Vols?

Btw,
Ohio St pounded W Virginia tonight 96-54. Zowie!

I'd love to go to Greensboro; there would be thousands of Gamecock fans able to make the trip and selfishly, it would mean I could potentially go to Greensboro and Tampa without breaking the bank.

I think UConn will secure the #1 overall seed. I think Baylor will be higher, Tenn and Kentucky belong where they are located but there's an awful lot of season to go and questions to answer. How does a Stanford team that looked so impressive beating UConn lose so badly to Tenn, Tenn Chat, etc.

Unfortunately Stanford and Rutgers didnt help.... but I still would guess you guys are in the early drivers seat for Greensboro. I would guess the new success of your program would lead you guys to bring more fans to Greensboro.... thats what we ( Im speaking on behalf of the Greensboro CVB) are counting on.

Im sure you arent aware..... but for the women's ACC.. and women's regional... the coliseum puts up black curtains on the upper part of the arena to reduce seating to around 11.500 or so. Back in 1999.... due to the unexpectedly high ticket sales... they raised the curtains a bit to increase capacity. Im hoping they can do likewise for this regional.... that would be incredible if they did.

Do you work for the Greensboro CVB or just live there? If USC and one of our old ACC rivals will be in Greensboro together, it wouldn't surprise me if we brought 10,000 - 12,000 to Greensboro if tickets were plentiful. I think we're drawing so well for WBB right now because our men's team has been down for a while. With our men playing much better in the last few games, if they are in the NCAAT, that could heavily impact our NCAAW attendance, which is why I don't think Duke and UNC draw that well for WBB.

Who wants to have UCONN in the Elite 8?! You might as well say "Sorry, no Final Four for you."

That is not entirely true. There are still tickets available at the following link:

If enough players from Baylor want to go they might offer them a group rate.
