With ISU getting thumped, they will not look as good as Texas, which will put some pressure to move them to a 3. And if Maryland can knock out Michigan, uconn can move up.

Just as likely (probably likelier) that Texas and/or Maryland can leapfrog UConn if they pick up quality wins in their conference tournaments.

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.

I saw Baylor v. Michigan at Mohegan Sun and came away unimpressed with both. Baylor looks much better tonight. I haven't seen Iowa State before tonight, and they sure don't look like a 2 seed.

I still say when the smoke clears UConn will be a 2 in Bridgeport

First things first (for UConn fans). Move up and out of the 8/9 seed to avoid being in South Carolina's region in Greensboro. That's the main thing keeping them out of Bridgeport, IMO.

I will say, seeing your Longhorns paired with us in Spokane at the moment was my biggest concern. Never fun having to match up with you guys.

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.

Considering Iowa State now has 4 losses to Texas by 18 and 25 points, and to Baylor by 26 and 20+ points, the likelihood they beat both those teams on consecutive days in the Big 12 tourney in Kansas City in a couple of weeks is slim (unless they get OU in the semi-finals instead of Texas).

So, I can see UConn moving up ahead of ISU if the above plays out.

I'm ready for UCONN to come to Greensboro. I just have to wash it.

Baylor was always a pretty strong team coming into this year, granted the depth is extremely thin which leaves not much room for error but its a talented, senior heavy team led by Smith. Kim gave Baylor a nice little present before leaving adding Jordan Lewis before taking the LSU job. They haven't played to their capabilities until recently though

I'd rather not have to try and beat Stanford a second time this season. While we've done well against the Cardinal in regular season games, not so much in the post-season.

from the men's standpoint I'm told the losses don't matter and how by how much doesn't matter either. Quad 1 wins are the most important factor for the committee, that's why Uconn is where they are. Their best quad 1 win is Tenn. Had they won vs Louisville or at Oregon or even Gtech they would be a 2 seed, but when 4 of your 5 toughest matchups you lose they won't get a pass.

I think what worries me most is the way y’all just get after it defensively. All I can think of is the way y’all shut down Maryland’s high powered offense last year and only allowed us to score 56 this year. I do think we have figured a lot of things out since then, but still Texas when everyone is locked in defensively is just so tough.

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 agree. I think they are just setting it up for UConn to win itself to a 2 seed by pulverizing BE opponents....
 
These seedings aren't going to hold. Some of these teams are clearly headed in the opposite direction.
 
I can only imagine how unhappy South Carolina will be if they have to face a healthy, full strength UConn in the EE to get to the Final Four after they only had 1 loss all year.

And after watching games this weekend and today, neither Iowa State nor Michigan look like 2 seeds to me. I still think its possible UConn ends up in Bridgeport, either as the 2 or 3 seed, depending on how the other conference tournaments shake out. All UConn can do at this point is take care of business and see what happens elsewhere.

If I could pick one matchup for the committee to try and set up in the Sweet Sixteen or Elite Eight, I would LOVE Baylor vs. LSU as the 2/3 in one region (or 1 vs 2). Seem unlikely with this reveal, but that would be some game.

I am stunned how Charlie could with a straight face not have UCONN jump Iowa State. I think it laughable to have Iowa State ahead of UCONN, and to have UCONN and SC in same region. . . But whatever. SC is getting burned if this happens regardless of future outcome.
 
Whoever gets Baylor or UCONN as their 2 seed is in for a very tough road to the Final Four. After a slew of injuries, UCONN finally has everyone healthy just in time for the tournament, and Baylor is peaking at the right time after a tough middle stretch.

There's a tendency to overreact to the latest result. This game was only about 3% of the season. Yes it was a blowout, but it wasn't like they lost to a bad team. Iowa State isn't going to drop 3 spots just based on this one game.
