That Crème needs to go

The best overall seed for UConn to get are #2, #3, #6, or #7. That will make us a #1 or #2 seed in a region. That way you end up in Greenville 2, or Seattle 3 and don’t meet SCar till the finals. All other teams are easier to beat.

Don't care about some guy named Creme, here's the one that matters,
Bobbybear, aka 'faithful fan' says,,,,,,,
UCONN is a #1 seed, and ranked #2 in the country!
That's what playing the toughest schedule this year with the most wins of anyone over quality opponents gets you!

SC doesn't want to meet UCONN until the final,
remember UCONN without Azzi lost by 4!

Nothing they do now, would likely dunk them below #3, 2 so if they beat VU convincingly, a @2 seems most likely, if not a #3 seems likely - so nothing terrible either way.

He's writing for ESPN, about a team and a league that play on Fox and CBS. A women's team coached by a dinosaur old white guy. Throw in the general wcbb fatigue with UConns 25+ years of dominance, and dogging us is the easiest money he's ever made.

It's more than him, it's the entire NCAA holding a grudge against UCONN!

 

[faithfulfan]

Stanford fans - is the lack of a consistent rotation something out of the ordinary for Tara this year in comparison to prior? Any thoughts on why they don't have a fairly fixed lineup? Conversely, Geno loathes making changes once he figures out who is going to start, so he can game plan for the first few minutes each game.

She's been playing a weak schedule the last few years as her and Geno are neck and neck in total wins! It helps her win totals but hurts the team in the tournament!

The committee is always looking ahead at potential match ups to drum up interest and storylines. My predictions:

• Stanford and UConn on one side of the bracket to potentially face off in the FF, with South Carolina on the other side of the teams; the committee wont want South Carolina to face either before the FF.
• I think Iowa will also be placed in a way that a matchup for them against a perennial power like Stan/UConn/SC wont be until the FF
• Try to have Villanova/Siegrest face off against a team with another POY candidate; LSU, SC, Iowa, etc
• Put UConn in a scenario where they could face either Tenn or ND
