LSU and Louisville Lose to Unranked Teams (merged)

What a day!

UConn obviously needs to take care of business this weekend, but things are setting up nicely for them to end up the #2 seed in Bridgeport when all is said and done as long as they win the BET.

Charlie Creme is claiming that LSU & Louisville will not be affected by their early losses to unranked teams. Charlie is only concluding that the selection committee is already set on the top seedings & they will not budge from their stubborn, erratic decisions. He has been critical of their brackets, but his job is to project the committee bracketology.
 
Even with these loses, even if UConn wins out with big victories in the BE tournament, I think UConn still needs Iowa State to lose early in the BIG 12 tournament for a chance at a 2 seed. Just sayin'.

Not deleting my Bridgeport tickets. Sitting nice and safe in my Apple wallet.

These are really bad losses by the teams ahead of us. Michigan, Louisville, LSU. All losses to UNRANKED teams.

And it was only four or five days ago that Iowa State got blown out by 25. At home. And they do not pass the eye test, they are slow, can`t defend, unimpressive, and athletic teams blow right by them.

Let`s go out and crush everybody at Mohegan Sun and see what happens.

Isn't it more important for UCONN to be a #3 in Bridgeport than to be a #2 in another region?

Would be nice, although exactly how does that happen?

I think there’s a better chance of being in Bridgeport as a 2. If you apply the S curve to the NCAA top 16 we are the highest 3 seed. If the 2 seeds have bad losses then shouldn’t we move ahead of them. If we are first or second 2 seed the odds of being in Bridgeport are very good. Losing to unranked teams in your conference tournament is not good.

Every team ranked ahead of us that loses to an unranked team in their conference tournament improves our chances of being a 2 seed if we win our tournament. I think it’s easier to put us in Bridgeport as a 2 seed.

If Baylor can lose to Texas Tech, and another unranked Big 12 team early in the conference tournament, and Iowa State do the same loss to unranked team in the conference tourney.....

Let the dominos outside the Big East keep falling!

Does Baylor now overtake Louisville for the last 1 seed if they win the Big 12 tourney?

That should put Baylor in Wichita, and have NC State in Bridgeport. #2 for UCONN in Wichita might not be so bad, as it would put UCONN on the opposite side of the bracket from SC, if the dominos falling do not launch UCONN into the #1 "orbit" in Brideport.

I like UCONN's chances in the National finals versus SC ==> Geno goes to 12-0 in the finals!!!!
 
This is why March Madness ( and Tourney time) are my FAVORITE Sporting Events.
Always a big scramble- both Women’s and Men’s.
You can keep the NBA.
Pure competition here
Last hurrah for many played that want to keep on playing.
Love it!!
UCONN has to stay on their toes.
Upsets in the air.

At the end of the LSU/ Kentucky game, Carolyn Peck said Creme stated that LSU's loss would not affect their seeding.

He also said that Indiana should have been dropped farther (out of the top 16) in the last bracket. That teams like N. Carolina and Notre Dame had a better resume than they did. Evidently the Selection Committee noticed that Indiana played Iowa twice and Maryland in the last week and evidently took that into consideration. Today they beat Maryland. On the flip side, I don't know how they could watch LSU play and have them a No. 2 seed, or have watched Arizona play and have them in the top 16. But they did. Is it a fascination with certain coaches? We'll see.
 
I see Baylor replacing Louisville as the final #1, and being in Wichita. With Michigan and LSU losing i see us moving up to a 2 seed--but maybe not far enough to escape Stanford/SC. If we win handily, a case can be made to move us in front of ISU, LSU and Michigan.--putting us in Bridgeport with NC state.

Our High School boys basketball team took on the #1 ranked team in the State of Indiana small schools in the sectional semi-finals tonight. 17 lead changes happened in the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, had the score tied with 8.5 seconds to go and we had the ball with a time out to advance the ball. Senior 6' 3" point guard drives the lane, does a 360 turn to clear his defender as a second defender crashes into both of them enough to cause the shot to come off the rim. Our freshman 5' 11" shooting guard sprints from 14 feet out to jump to 14" of the rim tipping the ball toward the backboard with his hand above the rim - the ball leaves his fingertips with the clock down to 0.2 seconds on the clock. As the ball kisses off the backboard, the horn sounds with the clock at 0.00, and the ball hits the near side of the rim (to him) goes up in the air about 20" and lands in the net to win 62-60. Even sweeter, this #1 ranked team, knocked out our guys for the past three years. On to the sectional finals....

Dominos falling is a national event tonight. Might need to order some pizza....from Dominos, of course!

I think UConn has a good shot at taking Iowa State #2 spot in the Bridgeport bracket. The seedings were announced before Baylor blew them out. They still have 1 game left against West Virginia tomorrow before the Big 12 tournament next week.

Yeah, it’s a little bit too early for victory lap. Let’s just take care of business tomorrow.

It's never too early for a victory lap. I routinely do victory laps before my Academic teams compete. Some say I easily get lost going to these contests, but the victories keep stacking up. I am blessed with tremendous students who love learning college level material in a very short amount of time.

My Math, Science and Interdisciplinary Captain is headed to the Military Academy at West Point this summer for example of the caliber of students I have the pleasure of teaching dual credit calculus-based physics, and dual credit chemistry...
 
Whew! Breathed a big sigh of relief to see that St Johns took care of one of our old rivals, Duquesne.
 
What's the difference between a 2 or a 3 seed?

Is there an example of UConn not being seeded in a CT regional? ( When there is one.)

Could also put Louisville as the #2 in Greensboro to see how they do against Dawn's team in the Regional finals, after UCONN goes to Wichita...
