Notre Dame is at UConn, the game is in Gampel.
 
Interestingly Iowa State at Oklahoma State would qualify as a quad one win if Iowa State had won, but Oklahoma State beat Iowa State and it's a quad 2 win

Mississippi State upsets Kentucky, and gets a quad 1 win (and the head coaches kids get some big reward), but if Kentucky had won it would have qualified as a quad 2 win.

This is to graphically show the Quads of the Huskies’ opponents. ND is still Quad 1 (I’m not predicting a win, mojo gods, just showing ND is a Quad 1 team). The blue highlighting of Tennessee, Providence, and Georgetown show future games

Note a Quad 1 game isn't necessarily a Quad 1 tomorrow. Or a week from now. And vice versa. Since everyone's rankings are constantly changing, the Quads are as well.

MichSt initially had a Quad 3 loss to Wisconsin. But the Badgers have moved up, so it's now only a Quad 2 loss.

And for Husky fans: if UConn stays unbeaten, this will be irrelevant. An undefeated UConn would be the overall 1, without question.

Unless Vandy remains unbeaten
 
Notre Dame was a quad 1 win when it was played, but not today.

Perhaps you can explain. Current Net per NCAA site is 28 for Notre Dame. I thought Quad 1 included home games against the top 30 net ranks.

Unless it has changed the women’s quads are 1/25 home, 1-35 neutral and 1-45 road.

What the heck does Quad 1 mean . . . . let alone net Quad 1?

The NET is the computer ranking that guided the selection committee. It also divides teams into a” quads “ with teams 1-25 ( in the NET RANKINGS) being quad 1 wins if you beat them on your home court. 1 through 35 are quad 1 wins if you beat them on a neutral court. 1 through 45 are quad one wins if you beat them on their court.

Quad twos are basically the rest of the top 100 teams. Quad 3s are very weak times and Quad 4s are pretty horrible teams.
Supposedly a tie or decisions between two consecutively ranked teams is decided by the best quad record.

Only 2 possible Quad 1 games left on the schedule.

For those who aren’t sure what the four Quads are, a brief explanation. There is a list of 363 NCAA teams that have a NET ranking derived from some semi-obscure formula. I included the Big East teams with their ranks below.

In the first chart below, you can see Quad 1 criteria. If the game is at home, the opponent needs to be ranked 25 or lower to be Quad 1. At a neutral site, the opponent needs to be ranked 35 or lower, for an away game, the rank has to be 45 or lower.

As an example: Villanova’s rank is currently 38. If UConn plays them at home, it’s a Quad 2 game but if the game is at Villanova, it’s a Quad 1 game. Keep in mind the formula used to calculate NET includes win-loss, margin of victory and other criteria, so NET rankings can change.

Hope this helps.

If UCLA wins out, I'd have to think they'd be the top overall seed in the tourney with that many quad 1 wins though there's still a lot of games to be played.

I don’t think so as long as UConn remains undefeated with a number (though smaller) of Q-1 wins but I don’t understand the NET algorithm enough to say that it would always work out that way.

Last year, SCar had by far the stronger Quad record and highest NET rank. Nevertheless, the committee seeded UCLA as number 1 ) despite Dawn’s bitching)

I wish this mattered but it doesn't. The committee does whatever it wants, regardless of what their own power rating says.

The brackets will be designed so that UConn has to beat 3 of the top 5 teams to win the championship. One of LSU, Texas, SC or UCLA will be the 2 seed in UConn's bracket.

If UConn hadn't beaten anyone then probably. But with comfortable wins over current projected 2 seeds Louisville and Iowa, #1 NET, 5-0 quad1 wins, Huskies have proven their quality. Dont see an undefeated team getting passed. Unless UConn play substantially deteriorates and needs OT to beat Xavier, for example. Or UCLA beats Iowa/Mich/OhioSt (which lost to UConn) by 50 points each.

I completely agree with but man, imagine IF this team was passed over for the #1 overall seed, what a chip on their shoulder and what a motivating factor…Woe to the 6 opponents…

And UConn beat them both by almost 30.
