Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5185996, member: 1131"] The significance of seeding, and therefore of this thread, is somewhat limited. If UConn's objective is simply to make the Final Four to continue the almost-streak, then seeding definitely matters, and UConn would want to avoid the brackets containing UCLA / SCar / Notre Dame if possible. But if the objective is the National Championship, then it will be necessary to beat one, and perhaps two, of these teams anyway. In that case, who cares if it happens in the Elite Eight or in the Final Four? I agree that UConn would be an underdog against any of these opponents, as would every other team in the country except another one of those three. But UConn would not be a prohibitive underdog (in my opinion) against any of them, and a victory against one or even two of them would be possible. I'm sure that Geno and the coaches are saying, as they have in the past about NCAA match-ups, that "you play the team you are supposed to play", and you have to defeat that team to get where you want to be. So let's get on with it. [/QUOTE]
