Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4224410, member: 11664"] If UConn is being treated as the overall #9 seed, which is the strongest #3 seed, #9 would be considered to be the logical choice to be placed in the Greensboro region with the strongest #1 seed. Conversely, if UConn were the overall #5 seed, which is the strongest #2 seed, #5 would be considered to be the logical choice to be placed in the Greensboro region with the strongest #1 seed. That's why #5 Michigan has been placed there in the Feb. 28th reveal. There's virtually little to no difference in being assigned either seed. Either way as the #5 or #9, UConn would be destined to play SC in the Elite 8 if it survives the Sweet 16. And it would also be a test for SC cancelling the rematch for the benefit of both teams to play at a later date. Had UConn played that SC game and lost due to injuries, it may have dropped UConn's seeding even lower. It seems like UConn ended up losing to Villanova instead of SC. [/QUOTE]
