Official 2023 bracket thread

Really thought we would get a one but more than happy with this bracket.

UCONN got their optimal bracket IMO. Avoids SC/Indiana/Stanford, plus avoids Iowa. VaTech is a solid team but I think they're the weakest out of that bunch.

 

[Hist-teacher]

I'm good. Tennessee vs a 17-17 team is a BIG head scratcher!

 

[NoSpamHere]

Happy with what we got but Stanford over ranked.

 

[wingsfan055]

setting up a potential UConn-SCar final!

I will get my revenge in this life or the next..

 

[broooce]

Stanford # 1 means Iowa #2 in that bracket. I'd like to see that game!

 

[Scooter]

Agree. Stanford should not be a 1 seed. Will motivate Iowa.

Whether UCONN deserved that last #1 seed or not is a different question, but I’m not unhappy with this bracket. And since the committee does seem to like‘storyline’ games - there’s the potential matchup with Dorka’s old team, OSU, in the EE.

 

[uconnever]

I like our chances, tech, carolina, Tennessee and iowa state are gonna be tough but it’s noy a bad spot

Well, shoot...no UCONN in Greenville this year. I was hoping to meet some of the Boneyard posters at the regional.

Sigh.

We can meet up in the champ game

 

[CTGirl15]

This is the bracket y’all wanted right?

Yes, this is the ideal bracket IMO. Except for it being in Seattle rather than Greenville

Sigh.

Agree…so disappointed. I live in Greenville area and wanted to see Uconn so bad . Also have 3 tickets probably need to get rid of too.

 

[wingsfan055]

Sue Bird will lead the cheering section in Seattle!

LSU weak schedule came back to bite them in the butt.

Eh... not really. The program is still in massive rebuild mode. They probably aren't hosting if they scheduled tougher early on working with so many new players and freshmen (8 of the 10 scholarship players are brand new)

I would call it a win for them to even be hosting year 2.

Michigan will be a tough one for them but certainly a way better matchup than last years team vs Ohio St

 

[Hayven]

Stanford a #1 seed?!

 

[triaddukefan]

My East Carolina Pirates Hope they get to feast on Ribeye Steaks

 

[ThisJustIn]

Gladly trade a number one seed for this bracket (of course, I'll delete this if there's an issue in the the elite 8. lol)

 

[NoSpamHere]

Stanford region seems soft too…

 

[hard2please]

is uconn - tenn matchup possible?

 

[CTinLA]

I’ve got to figure out that edit thing - I meant a matchup with OSU in the sweet 16

 

[triaddukefan]

Now we talking .... Dunno what an Iona is but

 

[hoopsnloops32]

The best team Virginia Tech has beaten all season is Duke.

 

[UCMB88]

Yes Carolynn, UConn is a #2 seed! Very easily could have been a #1.

From the way she said "UConn's a 2?, UConn's a 2?" it came across that she was surprised they were that high. Maybe I'm wrong and she felt they should've been a #1, but it didn't come across that way.

 

[socal613ws]

tried telling yall Stanford was gonna be a 1 lol
