Selection Show thread (7 ET, ESPN)

[uconnever]

Our path is really hard. Our girls better really be ready. Committee made it so that we can't take any games off so to speak.

 

[ASweet3781]

Yeah, it did so much for UConn

Excellent point.

All this talk about punishing Maryland, did we get rewarded for playing the toughest non conference schedule? NOPE.

I know for a fact MANY ACC schools will not play Maryland because of how they left the conference. And we know many coaches in the PAC 12/SEC hide behind their "Strong" conference.

The committee obviously wants to see UCONN lose!! Everyone is sick and tired of UCONN winning!! Syracuse has great guards and Maryland is very good I don't care what there out of confrence schedule is... They always play us tough ... We could have easily lost to Maryland the past 2 years!! Our bracket is the toughest and I knew it would be... They want UCONN out of final four!!! Maryland could beat us and I have a feeling they will.

 

[Zanzman]

Used to be in the same conference, but not anymore.

Oops forgot

 

[triaddukefan]

Everybody is talking about Maryland in the Regional Final. They might not make it.

 

[Vowelguy]

So
ND - Stanford - Texas - Kentucky in Lexington

I have a feeling we will take Maryland to school. If they make it past Duke we will absolutely kick the snot out of them.

So, Ohio State and NC State won't be seeded/hosting?

 

[HuskyNan]

Which is total a cop out.

87-81 to UConn and how they played us last year speaks volumes in how to pick who a really good team is.

Relax. That was the game Lou was barfing into a trash can and before Saniya found her traction. The game was also on Maryland's home court in December, not Bridgeport in March.

 

[chuck.r]

So with Washington in OK City, Stanford will be in Lexington, with a possible re-match with ND in the regional.

 

[Plebe]

Which is total a cop out.

87-81 to UConn and how they played us last year speaks volumes in how to pick who a really good team is.

And Maryland has gone 0-3 against Ohio State in those two years as well. That speaks at least a volume or two.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No easy task, but if Gonzaga can beat Oklahoma they will likely play UW. In state matchup, used to play annually but the series has been discontinued. Definitely a bit of us vs. them, east side of the state rural vs. west side urban. Could be...interesting.

 

[UConnFanMSM]

South Carolina seems to have the easiest path to the FF.

 

[ASweet3781]

Relax. That was the game Lou was barfing into a trash can during the game and before Saniya found her traction. The game was also on Maryland's home court in December, not Bridgeport in March.

And last year at MSG with Stewie, Mo, and Tuck we needed a last minute 3 by Chong to seal the deal.

 

[Vowelguy]

CT - UConn, Duke, Maryland, UCLA
KY - NDame, Stanford, Texas, Kentucky
OK - Baylor, Miss St, Washington, Louisville
CA - So Carolina, Ore St, Fla St, Miami

CA looks like the weakest region. OK and KY are both pretty strong.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, didn't realize Syracuse was on a delay and didn't know they were on live. I'm willing to bet they weren't thrilled w/ their seed and potential 2nd round matchup though.

 

[ASweet3781]

Stockton Regional seems to be the easiest path to the FF.

Because South Carolina has earned it!

And if South Carolina gets upset again they once again don't have a really good team there to pick up the slack.

 

[CamrnCrz1974]

Not saying that Maryland isn't better than their #9 national seed, but their weak OOC dropped their power numbers, as did a weak conference. The committee doesn't reward you just because you played UConn close.

If that were the benchmark, Florida State would be the most difficult #3 seed (not Maryland), as FSU lost to UConn by two points.

 

[Plebe]

So, Ohio State and NC State won't be seeded/hosting?

That's correct. Miami was the "surprise" final host, along with whichever lucky #7 seed gets paired with Stanford.

 

[triaddukefan]

I guess NC State will be a 5 seed headed to Kentucky?

 

[triaddukefan]

I will definitely be a Temple Fan on Saturday..... GO OWLS !!!! Get one for the AAC !!!!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Would have thought committee would not do a potential UConn Syracuse game.

PS. My night to hit the kitchen so catch up later.

 

[huskeynut]

No penalty to Baylor for losing in their conference championship to unranked WV - BS!

Bridgeport region is the toughest path to final four. Thanks committee. No respect!

 

[Vowelguy]

Ohio St @ Kentucky - sb a great crowd, and then one of them will bring fans to regional

 

[nwhoopfan]

Auburn?

 

[ASweet3781]

LOL Auburn gets in, Tennessee a 5 seed, and South Carolina with the easiest path.

Man that SEC is soooooo good! They've sent 1 team to the Final Four in 9 years.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford playing in Manhattan KS

 

[Vowelguy]

Relax. That was the game Lou was barfing into a trash can during the game and before Saniya found her traction. The game was also on Maryland's home court in December, not Bridgeport in March.

UConn also led by double digits most of the game. MD got it to 5 in the 4th quarter, but no closer.

 

[triaddukefan]

Ah man..... those losses to Wake Forest and UNC hammered NC State

 

[southie]

Stanford playing in Manhattan KS

Playing in Manhattan is tough. They can put a lot of fans in the stands, and they are loud. Won't be easy for Stanford.
