More bracket reveal, less puff pieces please. This is lame.

 

[triaddukefan]

what is this crap.... get on with the brackets......

 

[Centerstream]

The chances of them meeting is extremely unlikely.
USF gets to play its opening rounds just a few hours away in Tallahassee. The committee should avoid that, just because they might face UConn in the FOURTH ROUND ?

It just goes to show that a team's season doesn't matter but their location does!!!

 

[Vowelguy]

I'm not entirely well-versed in Bracketology, if you will, but would anyone be willing to explain to me how a team like Cal ends up in the Albany bracket, and why the committee seems allergic to placing USF in a bracket that's not ours?

There can only be 2 teams from the same conference in any bracket (unless the conf has >8 teams), so some PAC teams are going to end up in every region.

Folks have complained about USF being in UConn's bracket for years, and they STILL HAVENT PLAYED. This is much ado about nothing.

I may regret saying this. But I'd prefer South Carolina as the 2 over Texas. Rewatching the Texas game, we never once had control over it. I expect the Gamecocks to play us tougher and Wilson will get her points but I'm not sure they have the guard play?

ND gets the #1 seed in Spokane

 

[ASweet3781]

ND a 1. Means Baylor is someones 2.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

So South Carolina is the lowest 2???

 

[TitleTown]

HUH

#1 overall seed in the tournament has 7 teams ranked #23 or higher. You think that is a reward?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not questioning the #2 seed. We have 7 top 25 teams in our bracket! 7

Rankings in polls aren't the same as the seedings. Anyway 25 ranked teams, 4 regions, so each region would have approximately 6 ranked teams +/- a little right?

 

[Shenandoah]

Baylor got screwed.

Thank you for this. I genuinely didn't understand, but it makes sense.

 

[Vowelguy]

Oklahoma makes it!

 

[bags27]

who cares? we don't have to play them all.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Virginia and Oklahoma both in, for the bubble watchers.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

I like Oklahoma and Sherri Coale..... And really like DePaul..... That is going to be hard to root for

 

[ASweet3781]

Who are the 7? I mean Duke and Georgia are ranked. They also don't have a prayer in hell of beating us,.

 

[triaddukefan]

Oklahoma's mens and women's team made the tournament... what were the odds for that

 

[TitleTown]

Rankings in polls aren't the same as the seedings. Anyway 25 ranked teams, 4 regions, so each region would have approximately 6 ranked teams +/- a little right?

I agree, but you think the #1 overall seed should be the region that gets the most Top 25 in it?

 

[willingtonfan]

You do realize it's unlikely that it would get to UConn vs. USF in the tournament.

The following have to happen:
1. USF defeat FSU on their home court in round 2 -- very unlikely; road teams do not as a simple matter of fact win very often in the women's tournament first two rounds.
2. USF would then have to defeat South Carolina, the 2 seed in our region.

Then and only then would they get to play us for the regional final. Kind of unlikely.... But if they beat both the 2 and 3 seeds in our region, they will have earned the right in my opinion.

 

[Orangutan]

So South Carolina is the lowest 2???

RPI #11, Sagarin #9, Massey #8. So yeah, it makes sense to me that they are the lowest #2.

 

[Vowelguy]

Tennessee almost surely in the Lexington bracket

 

[ASweet3781]

Ohio State vs Oregon? Both may score in the 100s.

Big shout out for Jen!
