Selection Monday

[RedStickHusky]

So, overall #2, Baylor at #7?

 

[eebmg]

Did any other AAC teams get in besides USF, UCF?

 

[f1f1ferrari]

What an uneven show! They announced the brackets in confusing order. They highlighted a few teams while totally ignoring other teams. No discussion or debates about seedings or surprise selections.

It's ESPN, wouldn't expect anything different from them

I think this was done because in the past there was criticism of going into too many stories about teams while revealing the bracket. I'm happy they got the bracket announced, and they have time left to talk about stories now.

Which 1 seeds play in the Final Four if seeds hold?

Hopefully Big Game Paige will dial up some more magic.

Aaliyah could be key in a Baylor matchup.

N.C. State top overall seed.

NC State is the #1 overall. Unexpected, but wont argue with them getting a #1

Don’t think so. I Believe e the 4 ones were shown in reverse order. NC state as 4th seed gets top 2 seed in A&M. Don’t understand getting abaylir though.

Which 1 seeds play in the Final Four if seeds hold?

We would play NC state or TAMU in final four if we get there. Stanford to play SC or Maryland if they get there

 

[Zanzman]

Which 1 seeds play in the Final Four if seeds hold?

If seeds hold all of them

I think it might have been a compromise for the committee given how close Stanford and UConn were. They certainly gave Stanford the more dangerous Final Four matchup in SC and MD -- so giving UConn Baylor was only fair.

UConn-NCSt
Stanford-SC

I can’t believe DePaul didn’t make the field. I was expecting at least 3 big east teams in. I guess recency bias comes into play cause they haven’t been great lately.

Nina King is by far the most human-looking committee chair I've ever seen.

I mean, when you lose to a team like Butler while being on the bubble, it's hard to go dancing.

Not surprised. DePaul didn't finish well at all. The loss to Butler was a killer.

Aaliyah could be key in a Baylor matchup.

Maybe in a game of muscle, Piath might get some quality minutes (especially if CD is at the healm?)

The Butler did it.

She may be needed to eat some minutes.

Geno will be back by then and I really don’t want see Piath all of a sudden getting meaningful minutes when she hasn’t all year

Hopefully Big Game Paige will dial up some more magic.

Didi Richards vs Paige I’m all for it! Also, edwards vs Egbo! Let’s go!

Absolutely. I guess it’s not as surprising based on their finish, but i’m still shocked to not see them there for some reason

 

[SECbbfan24]

I would rather have Baylor's side of the bracket. kentucky Iowa and Syracuse.... geeesh!

Kentucky wouldn't worry me. Iowa can be scary though.
