Real good bracket for UConn.

I hope these teams are prepared to see some serious, suffocating defense.

 

[SLY63]

Anything can happen but 3/6 OSU/NC, 1/4 Va Tech/TN, is a really good draw. I can't imagine we won't be favorites to win the bracket. I can't wait to hear the predictions. What will Charlie say?

This show is a joke. The hostess of the show is like an immature teenager, too bad RL is part of it. ESPN needs to just hire the entire FOX WCBB announcers.

Agreed. Outside of Rebecca, this is a tough crew to listen to.

 

[Happydad745]

It's almost like UConn designed themselves...easiest bracket on the board.

 

[wingsfan055]

Love our Semifinal chances. SC/Stanford/Iowa will be battling it out for one of the Finals spot. Geno may get that "luck" he said was needed this year.

 

[triaddukefan]

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

Will motivate Iowa to do what? Choke again in the 2nd round? Iowa ain't making no Final 4 this year.

I can always come back to edit this post

is va tech a given over tenn? i dont think so

Lobo also said "UConn number 2?" question to the decision.

Was that Rebecca or Carolyn Peck?

 

[NoSpamHere]

I don’t remember UConn getting interviews like this when we were #1… would rather hear selection committee or upset reviews. The show is only an hour. The men’s show was much more well-rounded.

Wait until Iowa has to play Georgia and the rugby game that will ensue with Coach Abe

Stanford being a one seed is an absolute joke. What have they done better than us??

Lol I bet they'd gladly trade spots to play Virginia Tech in the Elite 8 instead of Iowa

 

[wingsfan055]

This is what I wished for...being a 2-seed with our 1-seed being VA-Tech. Also, UConn potentially has to play Indiana in the Semis, while SC/Stanford/Iowa could be beating each other up in the other Semis. I could easily see SC being picked off by a Stanford for example. I have no complaints!!

i have watched 15 Ohio State games. If Sheldon is healthy they could be problem. Weirdly they are a terrible foul shooting team. By the way, I love UConn’s bracket and refusal to do the camera reaction thing.

I think I've seen them do this before - was UConn the only team to not be on video for the reveal? I love it! Best bracket they could have gotten. Better yet, the team will have been off for well over a week. It's a fresh, re-energized, refocused UConn that we will see. New season and new attitude. There is every reason to believe this team will be squaring up in the Final Four with a real chance to win it.

Man... I normally pull for ACC teams (except for one).. but I want a UGA-Iowa matchup so bad.

 

[chuck.r]

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.

Sweet 16

UConn is never shown celebrating. I personally am a fan of that. It shows the expectation is to be in the tourney and to be a top seed. I’m sure they do a private celebration but no need to air it.

Iowa is beatable, but they're on a mission this year.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Well there you go: they picked Stanford as the last #1 instead of us because Stanford has 20 top-100 wins.

 

[oldhusky]

Does this mean Uconn fans will have to suck it up and root for Tennessee in that likely matchup? Ha!

 

[triaddukefan]

Fixed that for you.

Now watch us lose to Iona

 

[dtbtbtb]

On paper, a good draw for UConn. It seems the committee had UConn as number 6 overall which is low but works well to avoid SC till the Final (if both teams make it there).

 

[Henry]

In addition to UConn, I don't believe that Tenn was shown either.

 

[Urshurak]

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

Ohio State pretty good too.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Peck

if it was Peck, she probably thought UConn as a 2 was to high

 

[triaddukefan]

Iowa is beatable, but they're on a mission this year.

Yall disappointed me last year.... wanted to see yall in person vs South Carolina. I can't root for yall to make the Elite 8 this year though.

 

[chuck.r]

Stanford-Uconn for a 2nd straight year in the final 4?

I think UConn's bracket lines up to face the Indiana (Greenville 2) bracket winner in the FF

 

[wingsfan055]

Looks like the Committee ranked Iowa #5 over UConn #6. They did UConn a big favor considering the E8 matchups. Stanford will be very hard to beat.
