Message: [QUOTE="undersized, post: 4563183, member: 11260"] Color me [I]shocked[/I] that the Maryland fan account thinks Maryland should be seeded higher than Iowa. Maryland's marquee win over UConn has a gigantic frickin asterisk by it given the lineup UConn was fielding at the time. And I'm the furthest thing from a UConn apologist you'll find in terms of giving them slack for their injury woes relative to other teams. Maryland is the third best team in the conference both by regular season results and tournament results. That does not equal a 1 seed. I think Iowa's non-conference schedule is also being dismissed too readily. Yes, the loss @ Kansas State was terrible. But their win over Iowa State was against the DANGEROUS final four contender version of Iowa State, while they still had Stephanie Soares. ISU has struggled as of late, but that shouldn't devalue the teams the teams who beat them early on. Additionally, Iowa played a [I]healthy[/I] NC State and a [I]healthy[/I] UConn very close. If Iowa had played the version of UConn Maryland did, Iowa also would have won IMO. My order: South Carolina Indiana Stanford Virginia Tech Iowa UConn Maryland [/QUOTE]
