If LSU wins, I’d imagine they become the fourth #1 seed and UConn becomes the first #2 seed, which would still have them matching up. Only difference would be the uniform color they wear in Seattle.

Yep! I agree 100%. LOL...who would have thought we'd be rooting for SC a week after our intense loss to them?

I'm going to be so disappointed if Uconn isn't in Greenville. :( We live here and were so looking forward to seeing them live.

Me too. I want a chance to meet Boneyarders while UConn would be in a different bracket. I don't live there but was "born 'n raised" there and family is there. I still love my li'l hometown and downtown can be a fun place for strangers to meet for socializing.
 
Another team that could still contend for the last #1 seed is 6th ranked Utah. They are currently a #2 seed & they play division rival Stanford for the Pac12 title in two weeks. There's probably more of a chance that a Utah victory would knock Stanford to a #2 seed, but UCONN could be affected as well.

I booked a hotel long ago, just in case UConn got placed in that Regional.

I'm surprised to read that so many UConn fans want the team to be sent to Greenville. I'd bet money that the 12-15,000 South Carolina fans in attendance would be cheering against UConn regardless of their opponents in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 (unless it's the Lady Vols).

Mulkey always has a few tricks up her sleeves in the big games. She will not go quietly without making a statement. And, I'm not talking about just a fashion statement.

I ain't mentioning no names, but there is another team that could be in contention for a #1 seed in the unlikely event they run the table. Again, I ain't mentioning that team's name.

Now. watch that team lose Sunday :oops:

The only reason Duke is a longshot is because UCONN beat them soundly & the committee takes that into account. But if Duke runs the table & wins the ACC tournament, they have to be consideredfor a #1 seed. In any event, they would be as dangerous #2.
Good luck!

Hey hey. hey.. I wasn't mentioning any names. :oops:

But yeah, the more I think about... Indiana would have to drop a few more games for them to not be a #1 seed. Its pretty much gonna be SC, IND, Stanford, and UCONN on the top line unless something crazy happens in the Big 10.
 
jaydee602 said:
The committee has historically emphasized strength of schedule. That probably boosted UCONN to a #1 seed & dropped LSU to a #2 seed. If they beat SC on Sunday, that might catapult LSU to a #1. Otherwise, they are locked into a #2 or #3.
Expand ...
If they beat SC on Sunday they will become the overall #1 but I would be shocked if that were to happen. In my mind LSU is a solid team that's coached by one of the greats in the sport but they are not one of the 4 best yet.
 
.-.
The experts expect even the greats to have an off day and they also know UCONN with 5 players is one of the best teams. With 6 or 7 they will even be better so they really have to be a 1 if they can find a way to catch their second wind.

I think Stanford could stumble again before selection day possibly opening the door for someone else, and of course Uconn could as well.

There are about 8 games left for everyone including conference tournaments lots of chances for surprises.

LSU will not be the #1 overall seed just because they beat SC. That is not how it works. It will take more than that to move SC off the top spot.

I think LSU might have two chances to jump UCONN for a #1 seed - either win this weekend or beat SC to win the SEC tourney. The Huskies need to win out, but also need a little help to secure one of those top spots. Hopefully things will bounce our way!

Like I thought, LSU didn't have much of a chance. Explain how SC still would be number 1 overall if they lost to LSU at SC? That would leave 1 unbeaten team and that team beat the previous 1 at their place. Fact is SC is the best team and if no offensive fouls are called they are close to unbeatable.

One win against SC wouldn’t move LSU over them at all. They don’t have any good wins that’s it. It would take a lot for anyone to overtake SC as the 1 overall seed at this point. SC has proven they are dominate with quality wins over competition, committee wouldn’t put a team with one ranked win over them.

I was shocked that a ref had the gull to call Boston for an offensive foul for the leading of the shoulder under the basket.:eek: I think she was just as shocked as I was.;)

Welcome Colorado, adios OSU. Ten region changes, one up and one down seed.

Eleven teams still in top 16 from the 11/8 bracket, although only nine of them in from the first way too early bracket in April '22. SC, IN, ND, LSU, Stanford and UConn are the only teams to date in the top 16 (regular season only).

South Carolina doesn't want to go against Iowa. They are the one team that really has the ability to outscore their opponents any given night. Then you have ND in there too? That to me looks like the toughest region 1-4 but unless UCONN drops to a 2 seed I don't see a 1 seed going down before the FF. A lot of good BB to play over the next 6 weeks.

Let’s see:

Iowa #1 scoring offense against SCar #1 scoring Defense. Okay.

Scar #7 scoring offense against Iowa # 307 scoring defense. Uhm.

Puhleez. South Carolina would have no problem going against Iowa. South Carolina has the #1 3pt FG % defense in the nation, by a good much and every team that has come up against them in the past few years that relied on 3pt shooting to win the game has come up woefully short. The great Arkansas team a few years ago that managed to outshoot a Paige led Uconn team, was shut down twice by SC because of their perimeter defense. Iowa does not have the multiple shooters that Arkansas team had. I don't know where people get this take that South Carolina would not want to play Iowa. They would defend the three and then do their normal down low habits to control such a game.

South Carolina could easily handle Iowa. Iowa doesn’t have the height, rebounding or defense to make it close. IMO it would be a relatively easy win for them.

South Carolina would beat the dog crap outta Iowa. Personally I'm hoping Duke gets to face Iowa. I love chicken, and other fowl.

No one on SC can guard Clark, no one. SC will foul at 3-4 players if they try to play Clark like they did UCONN. UCONN should have gotten way more fouls on the perimeter but Iowa will get the fouls. SC has the better team, maybe much better but Iowa reminds me of the Louisville team that beat Baylor. They play 10 times Baylor wins 8-9, but that one time when the outside shots are dropping anything can happen. To be clear I am not saying Iowa is a better team than SC, just a team that can score a lot on a given night.
