Selection Monday

[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.

UConn-NCSt
Stanford-SC

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.

NC St is overall 3 Texas am is overall 5 but they can’t face overall 4 SC

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.

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

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.

 

[bluedevil]

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

 

[DEpup]

I also wouldn't underestimate Tennessee in a game with Baylor. They have the size to match up and if they can bring their A stuff, Baylor could have a rough time.

 

[Plebe]

Houston, DePaul, ND, Oklahoma are first 4 out.

My Cougs

Is it wrong for me to hope for a replacement scenario?

I am guessing with the Covid test, they were not in a position to pose for a high five. Got to get their ducks in a row,

[ScuderiaDiU]

I hopefully get the matchup I wanted...Syracuse vs Conn

Just curious as to why?

 

[Blue Huskie]

No DePaul and it probably has more to with the terrible end to the season than the overall resume. Iowa State made it and they didn't have a great season by any means.

[Blue Huskie]

Looks like ESPNu is rerun of selection show

Not supposed to be, (Just feels like it cause they repeat themselves so much)

 

[Bigpetunia]

Damn!! I just looked at UConn’s bracket. There are some pretty decent teams in there. So obvious that the NCAA is trying to screw us yet again! All of the other top seeds have a walk in the park by comparison!

 

[Vowelguy]

Houston, DePaul, ND, Oklahoma are first 4 out.

My Cougs

YES
Considering which team is on the most danger right now

Well, NC State has to GET that far, first. But we rarely ever get to face UCONN...so it is something to look forward to.

Yeah was thinking the same thing. The team could be in some kind of quarantine protocol just to be on the safe side.

 

[Plebe]

Iowa State made it and they didn't have a great season by any means.

Huh?

ISU is a 7 seed, right where they were projected. That's not even close to the bubble. They have wins over Baylor and West Virginia, and no losses outside Quad 1.

Sorry but Tennessee turns the ball over too much. They have the talent and size to match up with Baylor but the way Baylor plays defense it will be tough for Tennessee.

Let's get this party started.
