Wow, 22 teams? I would not have thought that many. Back in the real old days schools had either a real good men's team or a real good women's team but usually not both. I attribute that to the growth of the women's sport over the years.

I will say this, those SEC schools that are listed, their fans travel in large numbers....I expect UCONN to do the same.

I know this is a basketball site but in football, Bama, Carolina, and Tennessee fans can take over a stadium depending on how well the teams are doing. Carolina's girl's fans have taken over some smaller venues of the ACC when playing those teams in their venue.

I hope we take over Albany...that is a haul for us but I believe the faithful will show up...

I forgot that the Men's went to mostly "neutral" sites in their tournament. I like it that the top 16 are awarded with basically two home games before traveling. Kind of like rewarding them for their achievements.

It’s cheaper for the NCAA, too

All three Big East schools are on the list and the SEC is very well represented.
 
A sorted listing of these teams according to the sum of their WBB & MBB seedings (I did this quickly and mostly from memory, so let me know if any errors):

4 - UConn (3+1)
7 - S Carolina (1+6)
8 - Texas (1+7), Baylor (5+3), Tennessee (6+2)
9 - Gonzaga (4+5), Iowa St (7+2), N Carolina (8+1)
10 - Creighton (7+3)
11 - Duke (7+4)
12 - Kansas (8+4), Alabama (8+4), Marquette (10+2)
13 - Arizona (11+2)
14 - NC St (3+11), Nebraska (6+8)
15 - Colorado (5+10), Auburn (11+4)
18 - Michigan St (9+9)
20 - Texas A&M (11+9)
22 - Drake (12+10)
27 - S Dakota St (12+15)
 
None closer than from North Carolina to the south and from Michigan to the west. By my count that covers 15 states.

Whether at Barclays or MSG, there is nothing more fun (for me) than college basketball in NYC. My mom had old programs from CCNY, Manhattan, etc. from games she attended at the old MSG in the 40s.

Drake is also eliminated.

Might be able to get through Friday's Mens games without any school being eliminated.
 
Down to 9 by my count: Alabama, Baylor, Connecticut, Creighton, Duke, Gonzaga, Iowa State, North Carolina State, and Tennessee.

Tennessee women play NC State women tomorrow at 4 p.m., - one stays & one goes by 6 pm-ish tomorrow
 
Just a reminder - this is the UConn side of the women’s board, not the neutral one

As @Vowelguy has a thread on the General Board, I posted this there as well:

On the horizon, #4 Gonzaga women play #1 Texas, #5 Men play #1 Purdue
#3 Connecticut plays #7 Duke, #1 Men play #5 San Diego State
#7 Duke plays #3 Connecticut, #4 Men play #1 Houston
#3 NC State plays #2 Stanford, #11 Men play #2 Marquette

So, by chalk, UConn could be the last one standing after the Sweet 16....

Notably, UConn would already be the last one standing if both tournaments had gone chalk. Every other team had to exceed their seeding to make it happen.

Gonzaga is out, NC State pulled two upsets to stay in, and either Duke or Connecticut goes out Saturday night. NC State's (mild) upset of Stanford also knocked out the last perfect women's bracket on ESPN.

NC St women not much of an upset once Brink fouled out (with some of the calls a little questionable but that is another story) However, men played way above their seeding. Marquette helped them a lot, however, as nothing seemed to be working for them. either on offense or defense. Going "cold" can happen to any team at any round in a tournament one and done. Did someone call this March Madness?
