UCONN will not be a 1 seed. The committee barely wants to give them a 2 seed.
Creme has Villanova replacing SD St. as an at-large entrant. South Dakota beat SD St. for their Summit League title.Charlie’s matches mine and 90% of other fans lol. I hate to break it to you, but the boneyard does not represent a unbiased sample, rather it’s your personal echo chamber. Look around various projections and metrics. Also take a look at past seeding. Also, nice try to get aggressive at me for having the majority opinion. As for Villanova, imo they aren’t in. SH pulling the upset cost Nova a chance to improve their resume.
That’s right, good point.Would not be a 15 or 16 seed. Those are the invariably the AQs from the weaker one-bid conferences. The final at-large picks are usually 11 or maybe 12 seeds.
The voice of reason.I'm not sure why the NCAA would be out to get UConn at this point.........it's been a while since they've won a national championship and they do bring with them high attendance numbers and what I presume are the highest television rankings among all of the teams in the tournament.........I would think a UConn - South Carolina or a UConn - Stanford final would be the best possible match ups from a ratings perspective.......
If the argument is that UConn should be in Bridgeport because of enhanced ratings, then do not complain when a non-P5 team is left out of the BCS football championship series because of..................ratings.The voice of reason.
IMO...............Villanova is the only other BE team worthy (barely) of an NCAA women's at-large bid. The league, while improving, doesn't measure up.Charlie’s matches mine and 90% of other fans lol.

I do not think the NCAA is out to get UConn, and even if they were I don’t think it would matter this year. I smell #12 for Geno, the team seems to be coming together at just the right time. Judging from his last few courtside post game interviews, I think he likes what he is seeing.I'm not sure why the NCAA would be out to get UConn at this point.........it's been a while since they've won a national championship and they do bring with them high attendance numbers and what I presume are the highest television rankings among all of the teams in the tournament.........I would think a UConn - South Carolina or a UConn - Stanford final would be the best possible match ups from a ratings perspective.......
Did Fudd get hurt in the previous game before SC? Her foot looked fine when she scored about 20 points the day before SC. Her problem in the SC game, was defending and getting open looks.Ducharme didn’t play at all, and Fudd only played for 10 minutes and was still dealing with foot issues. Dorka also played at not 100%. Edwards played too but was not the same player she is now. Lastly I might remind you that UConn led in this game at halftime despite all the negatives.
What makes you think UConn doesn’t get a #1 seed? They just beat a very good Villanova team by 30 points.
Azzi only played 10 minutes in the SC game and sat out the next 11 games due to her foot. So I would say that most likely she did re-injury her foot in the SC game, if I remember correctly she played almost the whole 2nd quarter and that was mostly it.Did Fudd get hurt in the previous game before SC?

Who's complaining, we don't have football here.If the argument is that UConn should be in Bridgeport because of enhanced ratings, then do not complain when a non-P5 team is left out of the BCS football championship series because of..................ratings.
Have you ever seen a womens basketball coach win 11 National Championships?UConn was a #3 seed the last reveal. I have never seen a team jump a whole seed line (from 3 to 1) in a couple of weeks without beating a ranked opponent. To get up to the second #2 seed would be a great accomplishment.
Oops. My mistake. ND won't be there because of North Carolina.I like the way Megan Gauer thinks. If Oklahoma loses in the Big 12 tournament ND would take their place giving UConn the chance to play Iowa or ND. Or both?
Absolutely agree. Imo Villanova/Creighton were the only two with a chance entering the Conf. tourney and Creighton getting upset hurt both.IMO...............Villanova is the only other BE team worthy (barely) of an NCAA women's at-large bid. The league, while improving, doesn't measure up.
Who said anything about football ratings and the BCS?If the argument is that UConn should be in Bridgeport because of enhanced ratings, then do not complain when a non-P5 team is left out of the BCS football championship series because of..................ratings.
Please watch the tape from early in season to BET. She is clearly moving better. She was hurt over the summer and it clearly lingered. She was able to play well against teams that aren’t as physical as SC, but let’s not be all about SC defense and think Fudd was 100%.Did Fudd get hurt in the previous game before SC?

I say the team that opposes UCONN each step of the way is the team to beat AND nothing else matters until the final horn for that game sounds. Then on to the next opponent....I still say Stanford will be the team to beat.
I was not implying anything. I didn't see the South Fla. game just her stats. So I didn't know which game she reaggravated her foot in.Please watch the tape from early in season to BET.

Not saying there is any significant motivation, but what was the motivation the press was giving Geno for UCONN players picked for the Olympic team which he wasn't even coaching?I'm not sure why the NCAA would be out to get UConn at this point.........it's been a while since they've won a national championship and they do bring with them high attendance numbers and what I presume are the highest television rankings among all of the teams in the tournament.........I would think a UConn - South Carolina or a UConn - Stanford final would be the best possible match ups from a ratings perspective.......
Then the NCAA shouldn't say anything about injuries. But they do. You are making a rule up that the NCAA doesn't have ("injuries are part of the game") just so it fits your narrative. If the NCAA has it for review then it is part of the game.So, the committee could award Duke an at-large invitation due to injuries, and take that at-large invitation away from another deserving at-large team? That's unfortunate.
I'm more of the belief that "injuries are part of the game".
