FSU vs Louisville [merged thread]

[Ralph]

Only reason it is a tie is that Louisville hit 6 of 7 threes. They were badly out-rebounded. Hold your breath.

 

[ScottCT]

Louisville is not good enough to be surprised by that.

This game coming down to the wire. 56-55 Louisville with 40 seconds left

 

[msf22b]

I turned it on and jinxed them...L'ville ahead by 1

 

[eebmg]

Gillespie just got sandwiched. Injured and taken off the court. Her replacement kust sank 2 FT's to take the lead 57-56.

 

[eebmg]

Jeff Walz thought he had Paige ,making the sideline inbound pass. Sorry.

 

[Kaizen]

FSU will win ...

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

Two point loss to Florida State... is that enough to move us past the Ville?

 

[Ralph]

YES!!!!! FSU does it. I did not jinx us.

 

[msf22b]

Wowsa!

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

I hope this moves us closer to FT. Wayne!

 

[Lucelab113]

Nothing to see here.
Antonelli already declared on tv there’s no way UConn will be in Fort Wayne.

It should be! You would think that loss to the ‘Cuse would loom large.

 

[Centerstream]

True but remember when Louisville was getting 2 first place votes in the AP Poll, Deb was one of the two.

 

[jaydee602]

This should be enough to move UCONN past them, but the selection committee is intent on sending Louisville to Fort Wayne. That would unfairly keep them at #5.

 

[seeya27]

UL losses to unranked Syracuse and twice to lower ranked FSU.

Yep, nothing will change with Louisville. And nothing to see here...

Antonelli has been squawking about the selection committee having all of these weird criteria, but then they seed teams solely on geography. Louisville is a short ride to Fort Wayne, so their record becomes ireelevant.

Probably not, that’s the benefit of being the top poser in an overrated conference!

 

[StarMan]

An AP Poll ranked #4 team losing to an AP Poll ranked #22 team would drop that #4 team's ranking several positions... ordinarily.

I’ve never cared for Antonelli and dread each time she’s co-announcing a game!!

There's always going to be a bias towards P5 teams. Just something we will always have to live with.

 

[DefenseBB]

THe real issue is the committee needs to seed on an S curve and ignore geography and ideally not just the top 8 but the top 16. UConn is probably the 5 seed now but I think Stanford has potential to pass UConn given their potential wins.

No chance! Stanford would have to win out to pass UConn, that ain't happening! If UConn wins out, they are the #5 overall seed and should be the #2 in Fort Wayne.

Geography has virtually ZERO to do with the seeding of the Top 8 teams. The committee has stated a desire to rely strictly on an S-curve for Top 8 seeding. That is not saying they won't screw UConn, they have in the past and it would not surprise me one bit, but if UConn wins out they should be the #2 in Fort Wayne.
