UConn will be in Bridgeport thats why the NCAA is having the Regionals there and lets face it what fans from other teams are going to fly to CT to see their team play???? Bridgeport will sell out with UConn there and wont sell out with any other team there. Thats all you need to know. The parking and ticket prices are very high too. UConn is a big money maker for the NCAA and a big money maker for TV. Do you see any other team on TV like you see UConn? I dont think its even a consideration that UConn will be in another region. It would defeat the purpose of have the regionals in CT and not some other place. Next year the NCAA has decided to have the regionals at 4 sites. Lets see how that works out, because I dont think alot of fans can take that much time off to travel, pay for rooms that will be overpriced because of the Regionals and overpriced food to watch their team. Some will most wont.
Should UConn be a 1 seed?
UConns NET is 5 and if you take into consideration what the NCAA has said being that they take injuries into consideration as well as how your playing right now and UConn is playing great and with that point made UConn could be a 1 seed. I dont think that will happen but think about it. If the NCAA is taking injuries into consideration UConn would have only 1 loss. Does it really matter if UConn is a 1 or 2 seed? I dont think so. Look at the way UConn is playing right now with 9 deep and great guards.
Some fans are saying I want to see UConn beat up on a good team like they did the past few games. Really, how many top teams have had a lead of 50+ especially lately? Most top teams have struggled. Some fans are saying UConn is in a weak conference and is beating up on weak teams. How many teams have played schools yourve never heard of like Belmont, Pacific UC Davis Elon Buffalo Wofford Towson IUPUI St Francis ... look at their schedules. The Big East is pretty good and unfairly considered weak. 4 teams should make the NCAAs and maybe 5. If you think not look at some of the top conferences teams that have loosing records in their conference? No conference should be allowed over 5 teams this year. Tenn has lost 3 of their last 4 and is ranked 16 in the polls. Theyve struggled all season when they were healthy.
The Selection Committee is gonna have a really tuff job this season.
Now what team will be ranked above UConn in Bridgeport? What team will be sent to Bridgeport as a 1 seed? Would it be more fair to make UConn a 1 seed in Bridgeport and send the loser of the ACC championship to another region as a 2 seed and bring in a lesser 2 seed to face UConn in Bridgeport? As it stands now either NC State or LVIlle depending on who wins the ACC tourney will end up in Bridgeport. I dont think either teams can come within 15 pts of UConn and it could be more then that. IMO it really doesnt matter who comes to Bridgeport UConn right now is playing at an level higher then any team in WCBB with depth and confidence.
I hope the NCAA uses logic when selecting the top teams to play in their tournament. I have tried to make some points here. Stop reading all the propaganda about UConn being a 3 seed and being sent away to another region I think Ive made my points and I think theyre right on. The selection committee has the final say and I say see you all in Bridgeport.
