Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2610961, member: 7511"] One of USF’s goals this year was to be a top 16 seed in the Big Dance, so the Bulls could host the first two rounds of the tournament at home in Tampa. IMO, there are not 16 WBB teams that are better right now than the USF Bulls. The Bulls have steadily improved throughout the season, particularly on defense. They are a good rebounding team, and when Kitija Laksa is on, they have a high-volume shooter/scorer that is every bit as talented as Victoria Vivians or Kelsey Mitchell. In recent weeks USF has a statement win over Big10 champion tOSU, a relatively easy win over a tough UCF team in the AAC semifinals and they have increasingly improved their play against #1 UConn. While never actually being a threat to defeat the Huskies, over three games this season, USF has closed the gap from a 51 pt blowout earlier this season, to a 29 pt loss a week ago, to a 16 pt loss last night. For the good of the AAC, I would love to see Jose and the Bulls make a deep run in the tournament. Unfortunately, I doubt that the Committee will award a top 16 seed to USF. So once again the Bulls will be on the road. Hopefully, this year USF will advance beyond the 2nd round. One thing I am sure of. [B]Many of the teams that will secure a top 16 seed for the Big Dance want no part of the Bulls, even on their home court[/B]. [/QUOTE]
