Selection Monday

[triaddukefan]

Aaliyah could be key in a Baylor matchup.

UCONN has to get by High Point first

 

[DEpup]

Iowa beats Kentucky (IMO)

Not so sure about that. Kentucky is so inconsistent that they could come out and thump Iowa or lay an egg. Both equally possible

 

[Vowelguy]

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

No no no no no

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.

Charlie Creme had DePaul as the last team in & BYU as the first team out. The committee thought otherwise.

 

[DEpup]

There was no UConn to cut to, so they had to put something there. All the other teams they are showing the watch parties.

UConn never really does that sort of show watching photo op.

 

[Heytherego]

Is UCONN or Stanford the #1 overall? Just out of curiosity..confusing reveal

 

[ucbart]

This has been terrible, from a production standpoint. Maria is doing a horrendous job. You can tell she hasn't done one thing in women's hoops all year.

 

[eebmg]

No no no no no

Are you trying to say Ono?

 

[DEpup]

Marquette upsets Baylor.

That would be hilarious. I do think FGCU upsets Michigan though...

 

[RedStickHusky]

So, we drew the toughest 16 in High Point?

 

[jaydee602]

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.

Nope! Tthey just focused on Stanford's travels & the two black coaches in the SEC tournament. Very little commentary on matchups or seedings.

ESPN has an article with Stanford as the #1 Overall --

"
Stanford: The No. 1 overall seed, the Cardinal won the last of their two NCAA titles in 1992, basically forever ago. But they are the only team in their regional that has won a national championship."

We're all confused, I know

Women's bracket winners, losers and what Auriemma's absence means for UConn

Charlie Creme had DePaul as the last team in & BYU as the first team out. The committee thought otherwise.

No, he had UCF as his last team in and Mississippi State as first out.
He had DePaul as next-to-last in and BYU as 4th team out.

So, we drew the toughest 16 in High Point?

Without a doubt. I'm not biased though.

They have another hour of programming on ESPNU to breakdown the bracket after this reveal. This is where I'd expect them to break down matchups.

 

[LETTERL]

UConn-NCSt
Stanford-SC

 

[Urshurak]

FGCU has played very well this year. Definitely wouldn’t under estimate them.

If UCONN is playing Baylor, then they are #2 & Baylor is #7. Stanford is #1 because they are playing #8 Louisville. No way Louisville is ranked ahead of Baylor.

This is a pretty bad selection special.

That just means they made NC State #3 and SC #4.

TAMU is #5 and MD is #6, and so they had to deviate from S-curve pairing TAMU with NC State.

ESPN.....headquarters in Ct....there should be cameras on UCONN campus every selection show.....shame on ESPN.....Good thing UCONN can proof most teams that they are better...GOOD LUCK TO UCONN.

They only do it if the team wants to be on tv. UConn hasn’t done that in years.

Hight Point goes 6'3, 6'2, 6'1'6'0' 6'0..they also have a 5'2....
