Florida isn’t crying about being #10 seed in Bridgeport region

[HuskyNan]

Florida is a potential second round opponent for UConn.

No whining from Gainesville. Great attitude by the coach.

No team is going to complain publicly. Think about it. It would be coming up with an excuse before the games even start. No coach would want that attitude. No way a #1 seed is happy about earning that distinction but playing an away game at a # 2. Plenty of times people are Pi__ed off but know one knows it.

Lost to SC by 12 beat Kentucky by 25. Sounds like a dangerous team.

Florida struck gold when they hired Kelly Finlay. She has instilled confidence in this once floundering team. I wouldn't bet against her.

That’s what it’s all about

FL is down Kiki Smith and it will make the UCF game very hard for them. Their story for the year has been really great though.

I mean why would they?? As a 10 seed they were going to be playing on somebodies home court anyway. Most likely they won't even get to Bridgeport. And if they do, UCONN won't be there.

Why won't UConn be there?

Gotta go with that. Didn’t UCF beat Iowa? I checked, they didn’t but it was a close game.

 

[Bald Husky]

UConn would be playing Florida in the second round in Storrs, so only one of them will be in Bridegeport. I assume it will be us.

 

[ConnMotors]

UCF has a talented team and a very good coach.

 

[CB360]

I saw an Interview with the UCF coach and she was half heartedly complaining about all the "Florida" school having to go "North". She then added a positive spin on it by stating "We've played in Storrs before at Gampel and the fans are great, We know the Gym a little" Something to that effect....

 

[ctfjr]

Except for the 15/16 seeds I would take every other team seriously.

 

[cabbie191]

I have UCF beating Florida.

I have them ending in a tie, thereby mucking up the rest of the regional.

Nah, I have idea who wins.

 

[meyers7]

Why won't UConn be there?

Because if Florida gets to Bridgeport, they'd have already beaten UCONN/Mercer.

hint: UCONN would play Florida in 2nd round (round of 32) in Storrs. (not saying that will happen, UCONN would have to get by Mercer and Florida would have to get by UCF)

It's a suggestion that if Florida is in Bridgeport then they must have beaten UConn.

I was hoping that Tennessee would be in the Bridgeport region. I would have enjoyed the wailing and gnashing of teeth on Volnation.

 

[huskeynut]

I'll go with Florida. No love here for UCF.

She also just struck gold with her new contract.

I have to say that when I first read that I was like “what? Is Meyers playing the usual Shtick of picking against UConn?” Then I realized that no, if Florida won against UCF it would play UConn in Storrs (for which I have tickets)…but I did have to exert some brain power on that…now my head hurts…

I don’t think Tennessee gets out of Knoxville due to the Horston injury and a likely Oregon game…
