What Kim Mulkey has done at LSU is noteworthy. A good team with a top coach like that is going to be trouble for someone.

She's done a great job; and, she has a lot of post-season experience under her belt. But, not many of the LSU players have played in the NCAA tourney, have they? I'm interested to see how they do in the SEC tournament this week.

Hickory's best win was over insignificant Terrahune yet they got into the big dance and went on to beat mighty South Bend and take home the big prize. The point where possible is everyone deserves an equal chance. That's where the "Power Five" has harmed college football and threatens to harm student athletes in other sports.

I hope DePaul makes it.

But if doesn't, it will have no one to blame but itself.
  • Dont lose to a mediocre/crappy teams like Texas A&M and Seton Hall, and
  • Play better nonconference opponents than Texas Southern, Nicholls St, Northern Illinois, and Loyola.

They very well may do not great, LSU is without Alexis Morris again but she will be back for the NCAAT. That said they did beat Tennessee on the road and had a 15 point lead 5 minutes left in the game without her. So maybe they are more capable than I'm thinking?

LSU hasn't won a NCAAT game in 8 years though.... I am assuming they finally get it done at home this year.

I agree with Creme on Indiana. They simply doesn't have the resume to justify being put in the top 16. Only two Quad 1 wins. Cutting them a lot of slack for the Holmes injury, or maybe just the influence of inertia.

UCONN the projected 3-seed in Greensboro.

NC State the top seed in Bridgeport, now with Iowa State, Maryland and Tennessee.
 
NC: 1 SC / 8 Mich / 9 UConn / 16 Okla
WA: 2 Stan / 7 LSU / 10 Tex / 15 Ind
CT: 3 NC St / 6 Ia St / 12 Md / 13 Tenn
KS: 4 Lou / 5 Bay / 11 Ariz / 14 Iowa

Committee follows S-curve almost exactly, but flipping AZ/IA to Wichita and MD/TN to Bridgeport for geography reasons.
 
Not only is UConn a #3 seed (the top #3 seed, it should be noted), but the committee agreed with Charlie Creme that it should be in Greensboro rather than Bridgeport.

I still think that will change in the final seedings unless UConn should lose in the Big East tournament (quite unlikely). UConn isn't far away from a #2 seed, and certainly by the recent eye test, it looks better than current #2 seeds Michigan and Iowa State (at least).

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but the NCAA is starting to make me a believer. Michigan is 2-3 in their last 5 games. LSU, Iowa State ahead of us, c'mon. We played almost the entire year without the reigning player of the year, who is now back. I think the NCAA does not want a repeat of #2 UConn over #1 L'ville in the East Region, and has made up their mind to send us out of Bridgeport.

It looks like I will be eating my tickets.
 
Bridgeport is not looking good.

At this point it's basically impossible for UConn to move from #9 to #6 with only the BET left.

Not that you need to be #6 to be paired with the #3, but unlikely that the #8 team would be put there.

Won’t ESPN be a bit upset if S Carolina loses the elite 8 to UConn. I’m fine with it.
Expand ...

It surely will. But then ESPN HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE BRACKET, so it just has to show the tournament as it happens.

That’s tough for both UConn and SC, I’m sure they don’t want to see us and we sure don’t want to see them that early.

*If this holds and if they both make it to that round.

UCONN will end up being a 2 seed. Iowa St getting embarrassed at home right now, down near 20 points to Baylor. They will drop.
Expand ...
I'm skeptical a team is going to fall 3 spots just because it lost to a top 5 team, considering it is 1 of 29 games.

Iowa St is basically locked hosting. Its a matter of if its a two or three seed to me. They arent going to plummet but I think they will likely fall a little.

didn't they go to 68 this year? or was that last year....

I should have said even more. In November they went to 68 teams.
