Since the games are on ESPN, espn.com should have them first.Has anyone seen the times and TV Channels yet?

Anyone else think South Carolina is pretty much smooth sailing to the championship, unless they play Notre Dame. I kind of don't get it. I almost would've preferred they get the overall number 1 seed, cuz I don't know how they avoid playing USC, UCLA and UConn to get to the championship game.
It's bizarre that of the two locations for regionals, Spokane and Birmingham, one is close to the Final Four site and one is all the way across the country, as far away as possible. So, as Rebecca noted on air, the two teams that emerge from the Spokane regionals will be at a disadvantage over those that emerge from the Birmingham regionals: they'll have to travel cross-country before the FF, while the other two will have a very short trip to Tampa. What were they thinking????? That's not remotely fair.So bizarre that they send #15 FDU to TCU and #15 ArkSt to UConn.
It's been like that before. Now there's sufficient time between the regional final and the final 4 that it shouldn't be a big deal.It's bizarre that of the two locations for regionals, Spokane and Birmingham, one is close to the Final Four site and one is all the way across the country, as far away as possible.

The team most disadvantaged will be the team that emerges from the Spokane E8 game played on Monday, March 31 at 9:30 or 10 pm. At least the winner from the other Spokane regional will play March 30 and get the extra day to travel.It's bizarre that of the two locations for regionals, Spokane and Birmingham, one is close to the Final Four site and one is all the way across the country, as far away as possible.

Well, Dawn certainly played into that scenario.ESPN is really going hard with this thing that South Carolina has a chip on their shoulder. Complete nonsense.
Disagree. Strongly. We got a gift with USC. Just have to double one player like UCLA did in their last matchup. In spite of the hype this is not a Paige/Juju faceoff. We are a complete team with 3 stars, they are a one wo(man) show. Sarah can handle Kiki so they have no one to put up against Azzi. And our defense is so much better now that that first game. I'm lovin this matchup.Agree would
Much rather play Texas
Dawn described those losses (UConn&UCLA) as a couple of hiccupsAnd the team who did get the overall #1 ... beat them by double-digits.
I think Dawn is happy that she wasn't the top #1 because her bracket is a walk in the park compared to UCLA's bracket.Well, Dawn certainly played into that scenario.
Won’t be Kentucky, they are in the side of the bracket with the Trojans.Unless Kentucky takes them down first
I would guess that the best place to keep checking would be the ESPN app or espn.comHas anyone seen the times and TV Channels yet?
Dawn’s currently complaining about not getting the overall #1 on ESPN. It’s not a good look. By the way, didn’t she lose to someone a few weeks ago by 29?![]()
@Triad, why do I sense a hint of sacrcasm in your statemen?I'm pleased.... my teams get to go to LA and Austin...... instead of Columbia. No offense to Columbia, I'm sure its a swell town.
No idea if it matters, but maybe the committee used head-to-head as the final decision criteria? Or has the "committee" already explained their rationale?Dawn has a valid point pointing to her Q1 record. Like Pat Summitt (and Geno), she will "play anyone, anytime, anywhere". Compared to LSU's OOC conference schedule Dawn's is tremendous.
UCONN vs. Arkansas StateI would guess that the best place to keep checking would be the ESPN app or espn.com
Let us all remember that UConn will play the opponent that shows up on the opposite side of the court. And so, whoever shows up, I’m confident that the Huskies will take care of business, one game at a time.Agree would

I honestly think that all of the various “criteria” that they include is more or less just guidelines for justification of subjective decisions.No idea if it matters, but maybe the committee used head-to-head as the final decision criteria? Or has the "committee" already explained their rationale?
The Tennessee loss is a W T F loss if you want to be a #1 seed, I guess.Hard to get a lot of quality wins when playing in the BE
