Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3043029, member: 7748"] After thinking about the initial top 16 reveal I've been looking at the four and five seeds for the four regions. This past week has seen a number of upsets and with five to six games remaining before the next reveal it may be overly speculative to comment. But here I go. Since Charlie Cream began his bracketology the ASU lady devils have ranged from a 3 to a 5 currently residing as a 5. While I personally think the 5 is the correct seed as a fan I'd love to see a four and two home games in Tempe. Rhe Pac-12 tournament this year will be held in Las Vegas in March. Followers of women's basketball have debated the notion of regionals versus placing the final 16 in a single site. This is an interesting debate and one that bears further analysis. The recent outcry over the unbalanced nature of the current bracket would fall away in the event of a central location. As a fan of a program which rarely if ever makes it beyond The Sweet 16 I would love to have a central location allowing me to come and see all the top four seeds. As far as the Pac-12 in the Massey discussion a real weakness in that analysis is the placement of UCLA. Next to Oregon the team that's most on fire right now. Unfortunately ASU will draw them in the second round of the tournament and after their thrilling last-second victory over the Devils at home I'm not optimistic. This is one of the reasons why I think the eye test is so important. Massey has Cal substantially ahead of UCLA. For those of you watching the Pac-12 games I'm sure you've noticed some of the deficiencies in Kristen Anigwes game on the defensive side of the ball. Her numbers are reminiscent of Megan Gustafson but I think she and Megan share the same problems defensively that will be revealed in the WNBA.several close analystsof the WNBA have Anigwe falling to the Phoenix Mercury. I certainly hope not. While poor coaching may be part of Kristen's issues I think that they're somewhat deeper seated than that and I'm not sure how she fits in a locker room or defensively at the next level. getting ready to go to the Utah game. This is a big one for the Devils as it looks like there's some cow game will be our only two remaining victories with Oregon Oregon State and Stanford still on the schedule.after the Arizona wildcats completely shut Megan Hough down I believe she was going for 12 from the floor I'm expecting a big rebound game which puts tremendous pressure on our help defense. Both Courtney ekmark and Kianna Ibis will have to have big games looking forward to the last home game I'll be able to see for the Devil's this year [/QUOTE]
