UConn a 1 Seed????

Yes, yes it is.

Btw, Lou will drop to no lower than 5 and could hang on to a 1.

If Baylor wins the B12 tournament, they'll get the #1 Seed because Louisville losing so early in the ACC Tournament.

UConn will NOT be a #1 seed. Highest they could expect is a 2.

You can argue seeding all night long but remember 2001, Notre Dame beat UCONN during the season and was seeded #1 and UCONN #2 in the Big East Tournament held at Gampel. The finals were ND vs UCONN and UCONN pulled out the victory on Sue Bird's last second shot!
When the NCAA Committee finished seeding the National Tournament, ND was the overall #1 seed to UCONN's #2 overall seed and when asked why ND was the overall #1 seed when the Chairwoman of the committee was asked how ND was given the #1 seed, she replied "Notre Dame beat UCONN in the Big East Tournament finals!" When told UCONN won the Big East Finals. she said, "Did they?"
So there's no predicting what the committee will do!
Reason goes out the window when the committee gets in that room!

Oh I remember this story. Thanks for the reminder.

if you're Uconn, you do not want Baylor in the sweet 16 or elite 8, that team might be the hottest team in cbb aside Scar. Tv ratings wise tho after what happened last season it would be a great matchup. Not sure who on Uconn would guard Nalyssa Smith, but they would have their hands full.

Still a lot of hoop to be played before the official brackets released, however with past years' logic on who gets seeded where, I think this year, especially, wherever the teams get placed, so be it. If we are surprised with a favorable spot, then yay. I hope that Creme waits until after the BE finals to do seeds again, and then hope he doesn't until after the B12 tourney.

Doesn’t really matter what Charlie does. The committee’s decision is all that matters and it won’t be released until after the Big 12 tournament is complete.

Charlie will do two “bracketology” opinions before the committee decides. One will be this coming Monday. One will be after the Big 12 tourney wrap up.

It’s TonyC. He thinks UConn would beat the Harlem Globetrotters by 14. So grading on the curve, NCSt is pretty good.

I actually saw the UConn men bet the Globetrotters in a pre-season game many years ago, before the "Calhoun" rule. The Globetrotters were PO'ed. Late in the game they decked the UConn center (Jake Voskel?) when the refs were running down court with their backs to the play.

So maybe the UConn women would have a chance.
