Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4521646, member: 12088"] I like your quad analysis. I have an even shorter version of that for the preseason -- just look at how many Quad 4 teams have been scheduled for a team. In late December, look at how many Quad 3 + 4 teams have been scheduled. By mid-January, look at how many Quad 1+2+3 teams were on a team's schedule. Of course, by March quad differences mostly don't matter anymore and the powerhouse teams should be more or less apparent. Surprises are always possible, and are even part of the fun for fans, if not for coaches. Last year, it was hard to tell whether UConn was a powerhouse or not and a lot of pre-tournament expectations were dashed. This year, it's LSU who will dash expectations, one way or another. UConn, too, may also become a mystery depending on whether Caroline and Azzi return and how late in the season. Right now, the NET appears to favor giving UConn a 1 seed, and even Charlie Creme and Megan Gauer have gone along with this, and their doubts are reflected in which 1 seed that give us. The fact is many people, maybe most people, expect our weak bench to keep us from going very far. [/QUOTE]
