Rather be a 9 or 10 seed?

I have to assume they won't put us an 8-9 in Syracuse's region so I would prefer in order to be in Kansas region, than Kentucky, than UNC. Kentucky has a lot of young players and you never know how they may react in a tight tournament game. They are in a close game with LSU at the half. UNC has more experience and never lose in their home state. They would be my least desirable option.

Missouri is the 2 seed I would most like to avoid. I'd almost want to face Kansas instead of them. Ohio St and Michigan St tough but beatable. Duke probably the most desirable to face.

And by the way, I can't agree with anybody making the argument on this thread about wanting an easier road to the Sweet 16 as the most important factor. If we lose in the Sweet 16, it was a good year as a UConn fan, but not a great one. I think most UConn fans would agree that we aim higher than that.

Having said that, I can see both arguments having merit for 9 or 10...

Rather be a 10, unfortunately were going to be and 8 or 9.

^what he said. i cant wait to see duke/unc/kansas fans their pants over a potential second round matchup, but i hope uconn fans and players dont look ahead and forget about the first game. nothing is guaranteed with this team

Personally I want to be a 16 seed and play Kentucky so we can be the 1st 16 seed to beat a 1 seed.

Your team is not as bad as you think you match up better with Kentucky then anyone else in the tournament. Your bigs are a match for Kentucky's and your 3 guards would give kentucky fits plus Kentucky only has 7 players. I'm sure Jim would love nothing more then to knock paycal out of the tournament and i think cal would **** his pants if he saw Connecticut as a second round matchup because he knows he would be outcoached.

I'd much rather be a ten. The bottom line is that if this team gets to the sweet 16 I think they have a good chance of winning the national championship. You want to avoid North Carolina, Kentucky, and Cuse as long as possible, because that increases the chance that somebody else knocks them off for you.

CBS wants a UK/Uconn rematch, we will get a 9 seed in thier bracket

I'd think CBS wouldn't mind a possible UNC-UConn or Kansas-UConn either. That's why I am pretty convinced we are going to be an 8 or 9.

If so, I expect a game like 2006, but reversed. I remember Kentucky played us much closer than anyone expected (but then again, so did everybody in that Tournament).

Looks like Lunardi has us as the 8right now.

I think in the end we get a 7 seed
