Bumps Mississippi State up. So Baylor, Louisville, Mississippi State and Oregon IMO. Notre Dame has a lot of good wins but losing to Miami and North Carolina may hurt big time come selection Sunday.

That said, Mississippi State has a date (or 2) with a red hot South Carolina team to finish the year, and Oregon has a brutal stretching coming up with back to back games vs Oregon State and a meeting with Stanford this weekend.

They lost again??? Gohlee! What’s up with the top programs this year?

 

[Topdawg]

Certainly puts UCONN back in the mix for a #1 seed in the NCAA... not that it matters...

 

[hussybulldog]

If MSST wins out the rest of the regular season, they will be shipped to Albany to have a date with Uconn. If not, ND will have a date with UConn in Albany.

I'm not sure about that. MSU only has 4 top-50 wins and their best win is Marquette (at home). UConn has 5 top-50 wins and their best win is Notre Dame (on the road). I think the edge goes to UConn, for now.

I’m guessing UConn is no longer a 2-seed. It does make Monday’s matchup with the Gamecocks that much more important.

 

[EricSD]

In the rankings, I think it drops ND down to 6th below UCONN and Mississippi State, and probably puts UCONN back as a 1 seed. Would be interesting to see what they would do in that situation - if the 1 seeds are Baylor, Oregon, l'ville and UCONN - do they send ND out of Chicago to Albany? Still lots of hoops to be played.

For example, what if ND beats L'ville in the ACC tourney?

 

[MainefanSC]

Always good to see ND go down. Looking at the box, it appears that they had their shooting woes that our women have been trying to deal with.

Right now, I'm not really concerned about tourney seed. Would really like to see more consistent play, that we saw last night. They looked like the players we know they are. Just continue to focus and play UConn BBall. The rest will come, regardless of seed.

Waiting to see what Charlie Creme has to say

Charlie Creme just tweeted: "Here is the update at the top. #1’s Baylor, Louisville, Oregon, UConn. #2’s ND, Miss St, Stanford, Marquette. Just like that, UConn is back on the 1-line thanks to Miami. "

Obviously whatever he says cannot even hold for that week. So let's wait till right before NCAA select committee makes the selection and ignore whatever he says till then. Just interested in knowing how much he gets paid ...

And here's our answer:

 

[Jmsdawg]

If MSST wins out the rest of the regular season, they will be shipped to Albany to have a date with Uconn. If not, ND will have a date with UConn in Albany.

Then I hope we do not win out, a number 2 seed at a region not Albany is preferable to a number 1 seed at Albany!

Funny how the discussion turns to seeding. I yearn for the day that a ND loss should be appreciated independently of positioning. It should be enough that Arike and Mabrey had a rough night.

Louisville will be the 1 in Chicago as of now but I think ND beats them in the conference tournament. UConn back in drivers seat. SEC very weak & MSU no real challengers.

 

[Jmsdawg]

And here's our answer:

If this holds, will MSST be number 2 seed in the region where Oregon is number 1 seed?

 

[bbballfan23]

Also, I anticipate Oregon losing at least 1 more game. UConn could end up back at the #2 overall seed if we put a thumping on SC on Monday.

Deb Antonelli is somewhere tonight crying in her Cheerios.

 

[VaConnFan11]

NC State was (is) very overrated. They are going to lose 3 or 4 more games.

UConn is going to be in Albany either as a 1 or 2. I don't think that is going to change unless they lose a game in the AAC. A win against South Carolina would almost guarantee the 1 seed.

It's going to be an interesting game on Monday. South Carolina is very quick, but they do foul a lot.

 

[Plebe]

If this holds, will MSST be number 2 seed in the region where Oregon is number 1 seed?

Most likely, yes.

 

[Plebe]

Deb Antonelli is somewhere tonight crying in her Cheerios.

She's on the call in Baton Rouge for Arkansas-LSU. Doesn't sound like she's crying, or maybe she's muted her mic.

But wait, why would she be crying?

MSSU no real challengers = Uconn no challenger...If Louisville beats ND one more time, that will put MSSU/Uconn as overall No. 4/5 seeds (whichever order)/in Albany. Of course, Oregon can lose 1-2 more games potentially and change everyone's fortune except that of Louisville and Baylor.

 

[Bigboote]

If Louisville wins out (of course a big if), they should go to Chicago. ND can’t be in the same bracket, so would need to go elsewhere. Would the NCAA do that?

UConn has also played ND, Louisville & Baylor already...

I think w/ the schedule they have remaining, they can afford to lose 1 for sure and maybe 2 without getting punished. They will also certainly be picking up some quality wins along the way.

NCAA wants to fill the stands and make money. ND will stay in Chicago region I would imagine unless they continue to drop games. As much as this board thinks the world hates UConn the best business decision would be to put UConn & ND in different brackets for a potetional FF matchup. It’s all about the $$ to them, they’ve made that very clear.

I meant no real challenger for the rest of the season, so both
MSSU/UConn's fates are now in other team's hands.

I think with 3 losses, UConn leaps them. Their losses wouldn’t be of the same caliber as UConns, unless ND keeps losing, then that win becomes less weighted.

This is not necessarily true. The committee cares a lot more about quality wins than quality losses, and even a 3-loss Oregon team will have more quality wins than UConn will.
