   Tune into ESPN2 on Big Monday. NCAA D-I champ committee's current top-10 teams will be revealed in seed order. 6 ET: @ndwbb vs. @Duke_WBB
   
   I presume the announcement will be made at half time of the Duke vs ND Game.

I hope the LV fans aren't holding their breath. Or maybe I do.

I would enjoy their fall much more if it hadn't been the result of Pat's illness...

 

[BRS24]

Could someone please explain how this works? How often are the seeds updated?

 

[Nuyoika]

Poor Duke...

Brand new system that is a marketing ploy to drum up support for WCBB and copied from the College football polling leading up to the national Championship game. Not sure how they settled on a top 10. Eight would make more sense as that would project to all the #1 & #2 in the tournament. I believe this will be updated weekly.

I do miss Pat and what she added to WCBB.

Why would they announce the top 10 instead of the top 8?

I'm not sure that it was the result of Pats illness, but I agree that her illness takes the bloom off the rose.

I agree but but only the version of her in her prime, when "play anyone, anywhere" was more than empty words.

Who ever creates a 'Top Eight' list of anything?

I think the whole 'ten' thing came down from Mt. Sinai, didn't it?!

What I continue to be amazed at is that the vast majority of member schools in the NCAA are completely screwed by the over reliance on an brain dead statistical analysis titled RPI, and yet them have never demanded it be scrapped or reworked.
Charlie and his analysis:

Pretty solid until he starts spouting RPI nonsense.

and the NCAA RPI which places the current 7th and 8th seeds in the SEC tournament at #12 and #17 nationally:

*Looks at RPI, sees ND is #1*

I don't know what you are talking about! RPI is a great system!

I don't know what you are talking about! RPI is a great system!

*Looks at board name 'Orangutan - Looks at Avatar - looks at comment 'RPI is a great system', looks at referenced comment 'brain dead statistical analysis'*

Glows with pride as his point has been proven!

Touche!

Anyone who has coordinated a tournament with more than 8 players or teams?

 

[HuskyNan]

It can change but NCAA is releasing this list as it stands today

1 UConn
2 So Carolina
3 ND
4 Baylor
5 Texas
6 Ohio State
7 Arizona State
8 Oregon State
9 Maryland
10 UCLA

Maryland underrated. Pac 12 WAY Overrated !

 

[Kaizen]

UCLA? surprising ...

 

[nd2tty]

Unless SC keeps the UConn game to 5-10 pts, Maryland is the third best team in the country (behind ND).

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'd agree with you.

Maryland has beaten nobody this year. At #9 that is a gift.

Agree, but hope ASU hangs in there - I live in Phoenix and that would allow me to go to some regional games

But they played UConn better than anyone.
