Official Selection Show thread

[donalddoowop]

I just realized that Mr Joens might end up here in Greensboro... that should be fun

My feed is a bit behind... I take it that Duke WBB didn't make the NCAA field.

Your feed could be a week behind, and you wouldn't hear_____________.

 

[Charliebball]

They have a bunch of other weapons. Very capable of winning games even without her doing a lot.

they can beat anybody when playing well but are not a great offensive team........... definitely less threatening than South Carolina or Stanford

 

[Kaizen]

Bayer, 17-6, #2 seed good selection

 

[Stinger92860]

Villanova should be ranked higher than 11, probably 6-8….Go Nova wildcats.

I was thinking 8/9

 

[Plebe]

Tough matchup in the first game.... can't see them winning two games in that bracket.

FGCU seems under-seeded to me.

 

[triaddukefan]

Not at all the same. Bridgeport to Hartford is less than an hour drive. No one else in UCONN's regional is remotely close to Bridgeport.

Greensboro is just under 3 hours from Columbia. There's a good chance they'll face UNC in the Sweet 16 whose campus is 50 minutes away. It's also in a completely different state. Not quite the same as a home crowd, though it will be well attended by SC fans.

Don't tell anyone on the Duke board.... but I would like to see Big Carolina vs Little Carolina in the sweet 16.

 

[jaydee602]

I think they are better than that, time will tell

I agree! But every bracketology had them playing a play-in game.

 

[LETTERL]

They look very beatable at times, but they can put the hammer down and go on big runs. Sweet 16 has been their ceiling despite having some good teams in recent years, I gotta think they are in put up or shut up mode this Tourney.

This is really the last hurrah for NC State. We will take a step backwards next season and may never, ever again attain the level of success this group has brought us the last three seasons.

Kayla Jones, Kai Crutchfield and Raina Perez came back for their bonus year to take NC State deep into the NCAAT. I expect them, plus Cunane, to give it all they have and make a run at the national title.

Ohio St will break a NCAA record of made 3's against LSU, I can feel it...

 

[Centerstream]

I wasn't referring to the actual distance but the probable crowd support.

Princeton is 2 hours away, UMass just less than 2 hours, depending on traffic. Storrs is about an hour and a half away

 

[Blueballer]

I was hoping AZ or Oregon would be in our bracket to avenge the recent losses. I'd rather face them than possibly Notre Dame for the ten thousandth time. They're always pushing that rivalry.

 

[Stinger92860]

I agree! But every bracketology had them playing a ply-in game.

Not my bracketology!

 

[jaydee602]

Charlie Creme got most of the teams correct, just several with different seeds & regions.
But he nailed UCONN as a #2 in Bridgeport. So, GREAT JOB, Charlie!

Dag man... pouring salt in the open wounds

 

[The deacon]

They did not. Neither did Boston College.

Nor, as expected, did my Deacons... they certainly didn't deserve an invitation (although the Wake men did!).

 

[nwhoopfan]

they can beat anybody when playing well but are not a great offensive team........... definitely less threatening than South Carolina or Stanford

points per game:

South Carolina 71.3
Stanford 73.8
NC State 77.2

Victory margin is fairly comparable for all 3.

UConn is not in Hartford so it’s not less than one hour. Are you also complaining about the other schools playing close to home? Ann Arbor, cough, cough….

H

Just hoping they do well and play atleast a couple of games. Same with Depaul and Creighton

Now the whole country will get to See DePaul's Morrow.

NC State, with all that veteran experience and leadership, will be a very tough out.

 

[SLY63]

Selfishly I wanted UConn in BPT, but I can see how NC St would be peeved. No one wants to earn the 1 seed and the have to play the 2 seed in front of what is basically a home crowd.

 

[ctfjr]

As a previous poster mentioned, I feel good about Bridgeport.

It has to be the best road to the final four for us. No excuses.

 

[Plebe]

Tough matchup in the first game.... can't see them winning two games in that bracket.

I do think they'll beat FGCU. The Maryland game will be interesting.

Now the whole country will get to See DePaul's Morrow.

And Villanova's Siegrist.
