Not quite, Stanford is 835 miles from Seattle and UConn is a 4 iron from Bridgeport. Nice try @oldude LOLSo send Stanford to Seattle as a #2 seed. That’s what they did last year with UConn to Bridgeport as a #2 seed.
You must really flush your irons..Not quite, Stanford is 835 miles from Seattle and UConn is a 4 iron from Bridgeport. Nice try @oldude LOL
I’d take this region in a heartbeat. UConn’s beaten Texas, Duke decisively and Iowa (without Dorka).Charlie’s latest bracket sees Iowa as 1 seed on the grounds of recent play meriting it, lol. But at least he concedes (in his last line) that it will be tough for the committee to choose among Iowa UConn and Stanford for that last 1 seed.

Will the ACC, Big Ten or SEC put double-digit teams in the 2025 NCAA tourney? The projection begins with 1-seeds South Carolina, UConn, USC and UCLA.www.espn.com

Any team that wins the tournament must at some point go through South Carolina. It would be advantageous to do so as you suggest with 4 days of rest and preparation than just one.I disagree. I’d rather face South Carolina with more than one day to prep and rest.
About South Carolina….I agree with this assessmentAny team that wins the tournament must at some point go through South Carolina. It would be advantageous to do so as you suggest with 4 days of rest and preparation than just one.
I guess CC is going to have a talk with some higher ups at ESPN on Monica's perspective. It undermines his bracketology wisdom and that she should be more of a "TEAM" player.At half-time of the Iowa State-Texas game, Monica McNutt gave her perspective on who should be the 4th #1 seed and surprisingly when she gave the resume recap, she said it should be UConn as they have the strongest case. I wasn't paying enough attention initially (I mean it was Monica McNutt speaking) so I don't know who was the default #3 1 seed. The resume she touted was so clearly skewed towards UConn as no-brainer #1, I would have thought she was a regular BYer on this forum.

McNutt was basically pretty close to Creme who indicated the last #1 spot would come down to Iowa, Stanford & UConn. But what McNutt did was to specifically look at UConn’s superior NET rankings, while also pointing out that Iowa is 9-2 in games vs ranked (quad1) games, Stanford is 6-3 and UConn is 11-3.I guess CC is going to have a talk with some higher ups at ESPN on Monica's perspective.

Boneyarders, I may be wrong, but I’m almost positive that both SCar and UCONN have to play and win a few games prior to meeting in the tourney, regardless of the bracket they’re in. Also, a) I won’t ignore the talents of the lesser ranked teams; b) I don't believe the selection committee cares about the fans’ opinions; c) I will cheer for UCONN no matter their seeding.If they are smart and want ratings, the committee will ensure that UConn and SC do not meet in the semis of the FF. Now, for that to happen, if they make UConn a #1, they can't be the fourth #1 because that will make the game with them in the semis. If they don't want controversy, they may leave UConn as a #2 and grouped with the overall #2 or 3, meaning we would be grouped with Indiana or Virginia Tech. (that is if the others stay the same as Creme says). So, to avoid SC before the NC game, they cannot be the fourth #1, or the best #2. The best #2 will be in the same region as the fourth #1, thus if we get there, we will play SC in the semis. That is why I would be satisfied if the present bracket doesn't change.
