That Bridgeport regional would be insane, if all four top seeds were to make it. Oklahoma has been sort of up and down of late, but UCONN/Iowa would be a dandy.Sign me up for this bracket.
Women's Bracketology: LSU, Iowa open on top line, but UConn is No. 1 overall
LSU and Iowa open as top seeds along with UConn and Utah. The Huskies are No. 1 overall in our first projection for 2023-24.www.espn.com
As Geno has said many, many times. Playing and beating the same team 3 times in one year is a bitch. I was surprised SCar lost, but not shocked. However, if they played 10 times in the regular season I'd expect a whuppin' by SCar of monumental proportions 9 times.

Thanks for putting that together. I agree with some; disagree with some. But, you can't have both Texas and Oklahoma in the same regional.
How do you figure? I don't believe UConn could face more than 3 of these teams before the final 4.
No gaudy wins, but overall slightly better quality body of work when you combine the nonconference and conference regular seasons.
I was referring to opponents in my post.
I'm not arguing that Marquette or DePaul should be in the tournament; I'm arguing that Creighton shouldn't. If there's a second team from the Big East, it should be Villanova, which made the Big East final and has a huge signature win.
I really like this Top 16 prediction. Though, I think you’d have to switch Oklahoma and Arizona’s regional placements because of conference matchups in the Top 16.
That was DT's senior year. Without doing 1 iota of research, how in the world was UConn not a 1 seed somewhere? that was also the year the men and women won it all. That may never be done again. Oops it was....
I keep beating this dead horse here (insert gif here), hope the rest of the Big East teams take notice what Creighton has done, regarding scheduling stronger OOC teams...I'm looking at you DePaul, Villanova, Marquette, Seton Hall and the rest of the bottom feeders...git er done.
I think we've even played a team four times in one season - ND in 2012-13. I think we were 0-3 against them going into the NCAA tourney when Stewie made sure we won the one that mattered most.
If I recall in that particular year all I kept hearing/reading was that ND won 7-9 against UConn...until as you mentioned the game that mattered most.
They had 4 losses including one to, yes, unranked villanova.
It's not written in stone, other than the overall #1 and the overall #4 are always slated to meet in the semifinals, same as #2 vs. #3. As it turns out, that would mean Greensboro vs. Wichita and Spokane vs. Bridgeport. But if the 1 seeds were in a different order those matchups could have changed.
Dummy me. IIRC that was the Big East championship game at the RAC. It was a long drive to get there and a longer drive to get home following a disappointing loss.They had 4 losses including one to, yes, unranked villanova.
In Dec 2003, the Huskies pasted NC State 87-53. Do I smell mojo here?
