Selection Monday Thoughts

Charlie Creme said that Miss St winning the SEC Tournament elevated them to a #1 seed and apparently Louisville was going to be a #1 seed no matter what.

It appears UConn is not a #1 seed and that their path to the final is incredibly difficult.

I only bury my friends or morn over them ---AFTER they are dead. Until they lose (maybe this decade or next) they are on another road to the NC. Difficult ? When has it really been easy, even in the Stewie era, Uconn still had to play the games--and I chewed my nails to the first joint.

UConn's had far, far easier paths. Of course, perhaps something beyond strange will happen and ND or Louisville will get knocked off early.

Where do you get that UConn is not a #1 seed? Creme and everyone else has UConn as the #1 seed in the Albany Region.

The committee's bracket has been revealed.

Yes I see that now. So long as UConn is in Albany, I’m fine with the draw, even with the Huskies as a #2.

Having to face Maryland in the 3rd round is not ideal. Having to defeat Louisville and Notre Dame back-to-back to get to the title game is less than ideal.

Who would you rather play? Ms St? Stanford? Oregon? UConn is going to have to play several really good teams to make it to the finals any way you cut it.

Look at it another way. Do you think Brenda or Jeff are thrilled to be in the Albany Region?

I would rather face #3 Maryland than #4 Oregon State. Maryland plays a weak schedule & struggles against top teams. Maybe UCONN getting the #2 seed is a blessing!

And Scott Rueck is one of the top coaches in the country. He took out Baylor in TX in the Elite 8 in 2016 and stunned the LV’s in the 2nd round in Knoxville last year.

True! And don't be surprised if Oregon State beats Louisville again this year.

They would have to beat bothe most likely even if we were a number one and Louisville were 2

Because of the way the rest of the brackets were set up, yes.
