Iowa gunning from the outside vs. SC would be fun to watch. Even more fun for me would be Czinano and all of her post moves go against Boston. It would be interesting to see how tightly the ref's would call Boston's defense.Iowa is the type team that could cause SC problems. If Iowa can hit outside and keep Zia in check they could beat SC but they will need phenomenal success with the 3’s. I see Iowa much as I see UConn in regards to beating SC, they both need star players to have great games to have realistic shot at beating SC.
Crème’s latest looks much more accurate. Great for UConn but still think NC State getting hosed as clear Top-3 team all year & firm #1 seed set up for hostile E8 road game.Last night's update…
Two up and down seeds, four region changes. And now we await the results.

If we are 7, wouldn't we be in Stanford's bracket?Here is a comparison of Creme's latest with the last reveal. For me the only surprise is him moving up Tennessee to a 3 seed. The rest make sense to me. (I did not try to order the teams within the seed lines

As i noted in my post--i did NOT order within the seed lines we do not know that detail, and we may not know it for the official bracketIf we are 7, wouldn't we be in Stanford's bracket?
Baylor is #2, Louisville is the #1 in Wichita now.After the Texas/ Baylor game, Charlie Creme adjusted his Bracketology. UCONN is #2 in Bridgeport, Texas is now #2 in Greensboro, & Baylor is #1 in Wichita.
Thanks for the update! I guess losing the final to a #2 seed is more damaging than losing the 1st round to an unranked team.Baylor is #2, Louisville is the #1 in Wichita now.
It was just a general question. Just wondering anyone's thoughts.As i noted in my post--i did NOT order within the seed lines we do not know that detail, and we may not know it for the official bracket
South Carolina is 18-2 in NET Q1 games. Baylor is 8-5.Baylor will be one seed in both women and men. Heck, not even SC won their conference tournament. BU off today, no doubt. But if Smith is healthy, BU is a threat. Anyone’s win this year, and UConn looking to time a fortuitous return. Good luck. Hope we would meet only in final four. I don’t think BU wants UConn in their bracket and vice versa.
I see what you're saying. But, it doesn't matter where UCONN is placed, because someone would cite some reason as to why they were handled with satin gloves. As a UCONN fan, I'm elated that they're a 2-seed in the Bridgeport region, though I won't be there to cheer them on.Crème’s latest looks much more accurate. Great for UConn but still think NC State getting hosed as clear Top-3 team all year & firm #1 seed set up for hostile E8 road game.
For sake of fairness, I would swap 1/2 seed pairings in Bridgeport & Wichita, sending NC State/UConn to KS while moving Baylor/Louisville to CT. This way, more deserving NC State gets UConn on neutral floor while weakest #1 Baylor loses regional advantage.
Doing this would also calm any UConn bias notions in down year while preserving South Carolina v. UConn matchup in Championship Game (as opposed to National Semi Final).
And let's not forget that it was revealed that the NCAA has been cooking the books, making it seem as though women's basketball is a loss-leader, when in reality they have been far more profitable than the NCAA has let on.I disagree. It's always been unequal, it was just that last year's problems were more magnified and publicized because the teams were so locked down and Sedona Prince was airing all of the dirty laundry on TikTok.
For a long time, the expectation was for the women to just be grateful for what they got and to keep their heads down and play, and that's just not going to cut it anymore.
