Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4191491, member: 7511"] There is a good possibility that UConn jumps 2 spots in the rankings today to #8. The Huskies had two good wins over Creighton & TN, while the LV’s had two losses and Baylor lost to 18th ranked OK. While being ranked 8th does not necessarily equate to being a 2-seed, it’s a good proxy for now. Assuming UConn is the last #2 seed that would put the Huskies in Spokane or Greenville in the likely brackets with Stanford or SC respectively. But the season is not over yet. UConn still has to run the table in the BE to secure a 2-seed. Teams ahead of UConn like AZ, MI & IN have all looked vulnerable at times. One bad loss could easily drop them behind UConn. Finally, assuming Paige comes back, and the Huskies start firing on all cylinders, I wonder to what extent the selection committee will take into consideration her injury and her return in seeding the Huskies. Supposedly, injuries are not considered in the analysis. But the truth is the committee will rationalize whatever decision they make, using whatever criteria they determine is relevant. [/QUOTE]
