Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3045927, member: 7511"] If ND wins the ACC and SC wins the SEC, both of which are strong possibilities, then UConn will have 2 very strong wins on their resume. The win vs #1 ND, on the road, earns UConn bonus points. Baylor and UConn should both win out. Here’s why I believe UConn has a very good chance to be the #2 overall seed. Oregon’s best road win was vs a depleted #7 Stanford. They also have a bad loss vs MI St. If the Ducks win out, including the Pac12 tournament, it’s a very close call as to whether they’re seeded ahead of UConn. If they lose another game, there is no chance. Louisville’s best road win was vs #17 ASU by 2. Their recent loss at home to a decent Miami team is certainly a setback to their seeding. Louisville has to win out, including the ACC tournament to be seeded ahead of UConn imo. Finally, ND’s best road win is over #11 Marquette. Their loss at home to UConn along with two road losses, including a particularly bad one to UNC make it virtually impossible for the Irish to leapfrog UConn imo, although they still could be the favorite to win the ACC tournament. Time will tell. But UConn is in a nice position and the Huskies are playing their best basketball of the season over the past 4 games as they round into form for the Big Dance. [/QUOTE]
