Stanford loses again...

Agree never count them out. I’m excited to be heading to ASU to see Stanford play tomorrow.

Enjoy, I was extremely impressed with them, on one of their runs I thought it was curtains for us. My wife hasn't been making the games and I texted her "and the deluge begins". They are good from 3 point land, and Williams was just highly impressive in a relatively quiet sort of way.

I am probably not going to go to the Cal game. I don't actually enjoy senior days, for whatever reason. And I am busy on Sundays.

The only thing Uconn should be hoping for is to stay away from the big 3... Oregon, Baylor and South Carolina until the final four....

The only way to do this is to get a 1 seed (Which they won't get) or get the highest 2 seed. (Which they should get)

Either way, they won't beat the big 3 this year... Unless there is a miracle...

My bet is that this is Oregon's year.

or the #5 overall which makes them the top #2 and plays against the #4 or bottom #1. If the S curve holds

They through the S Curve out in favor of geography. A few years back. They do try to "balance the bracket" which is, of course, subject to interpretation. But you cannot predict match-ups based on the S-Curve, because on each line, the highest ranked team is "supposed" to be sent to the closest geographic location, and on through the other 3 teams on that line. In general, I don't like it, but I do get it.

Aari was the #51 player in her class per HoopGurlz. Though that is respectable, I think they missed on the low side.

Shows how useless these rankings are. For a chuckle check out Brink at #3 and Edwards at #26. Edwards would chew her up.

Agree with everything you said
 
UConn will be the #1 seed in Fort Wayne, there is NO way Maryland will get a #1 seed.

What makes you so certain of this?

Maryland will lose again. I see them losing in their conference tournament.

I would be perfectly happy if the Huskies were a #1 or #2 seed in Ft Wayne. I’m looking for MD and/or Louisville losing in their conference tournaments to clear the way for UConn to book a trip to scenic Ft Wayne, IN.
 
Assuming we are a 2 seed, one of the keys to which regional we will be in is the conference composition of the other 2 seeds. For example, if Md is the final #1, and Northwestern is a #2, then that improves our chances of going to Fort Wayne as Northwestern wont go up against MD. We will find out Monday a lot about our odds with the NCAA reveal.

Stanford is ranked 4th, Louisville is 5th. UConn is 6th. #13 Arizona is much better than any team UConn will play in the AAC. Plus the game went into overtime, and Stanford only lost by 1 point, 73-72 on the road. It would be different if Arizona was not ranked, and blew the Cardinal out. I'd leave UConn at 6. But I'm not on the committee.

The most I would do is maybe switch Stanford and Louisville. We all know Stanford is facing much better competition nightly than UConn is. UConn is a very long shot to get a #1 seed. Stanford and LV would both have to lose another game to an unranked team for UConn to have even a remote long shot at a #1 seed. Don't count on it. I agree with Charlie Creme that SC, Baylor, Oregon and possibly Maryland look like #1 seeds.

While UConn, Louisville, Stanford and NC State probably get #2 seeds, although Creme currently has Northwestern as a 2 seed in the Portland Region. :confused:

I wonder how much better Arizona is than DePaul? Could make an argument here as far as UCONNs positioning, understanding of course the PAC12 competition as opposed to that of the Big East...

Who is Louisville going to lose to in the ACC tournament?

Hasn't Stanford suffered a number of injuries? Is Prechtel out? And their top recruit?

Carrington was just barely behind Williams in scoring last year, she's only played in 5 games at the beginning of the season. Dodson has only played in the last 6 games. Jones has been out since Jan. 8th. I don't know about Prechtel being injured, but she's not in the box score for today's game. Might be another injury or two I don't know about.
 
Why are we discussing Stanford on our main WBB forum???
Oops, never mind, I forgot that I didn't select the Ignore button.
