Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4570196, member: 7511"] I have to say that the suggestions that the NCAA is somehow biased against UConn when it comes to seeding just doesn’t hold water. UConn has been a #1 or #2 seed for as long as I can remember. Covid canceled the tournament in 2020 and moved all the regionals to San Antonio in 2021. Other than those two seasons, UConn has been able to play every regional from 2015 to 2022 at the friendly confines of either the Times-Union Center in Albany, NY or Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT, in front of large, loud, pro-UConn crowds. If anyone had reason to complain about seeding, it would have been NC State who battled the Huskies through 2 OT’s in the Elite 8 game last year in Bridgeport. With the NCAA trying out a new “2 regional site” format this year and for the foreseeable future, assuming UConn takes care of business in the 1st two rounds, the Huskies will hit the road to either Greenville, or Seattle. The last time that happened during a normal tournament was 2014, when the Huskies ended up in Lincoln, NE. OH by the way, UConn won it all that year. Next year the regionals will be back at the Times-Union Center in Albany, NY. I expect to be there along with approximately 17,500 enthusiastic, predominantly pro-UConn Husky fans. [/QUOTE]
