Oregon tied with UCLA late

[Cap'n Geech]

We probably need Oregon to lose today or tomorrow to get a 1-seed and avoid going to Albany.

UConn is the best matchup for us as far as 1 seeds go. They are the only team that can't match our physicality.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

They haven't lost in the Northeast in 6 years.

Overtime. UCLA had a chance to take the lead at the free throw line with 4 seconds to go.

Why does everyone assume we are getting shipped to Albany? UConn is currently the #2 ranked team and very likely #2 overall seed. That means they will get matched with the 3rd 2-seed. We will either be the Top #2 seed, or the 2nd ranked 2-seed getting matched against the 3rd or 4th 1-seed.

Because it's not a true s-curve. The last seed reveal had us in Albany and nothing has really changed in the top 6 since then.

Yeah, but they had Brenna Stewart for 4 of those years. Once she left, they became beatable. This year's team has no star on it and is the most beatable team they've had in awhile.

Well something will definitely change if ND loses to Louisville, and/or Oregon loses. Not to mention, the commitee likely didn’t consider the regional implications of each matchup in the iniitial reveal, and won’t do so at all until it’s time for final rankings. If we aren’t a 1-seed, we’ve got just as good of a shot at Greensboro as anyone else.

If you give me a choice between Baylor, Louisville, Notre Dame, Oregon, or UConn, I'm picking UConn this year.

Doubt the committee pairs us up vs UCONN. They'd want MSU/UCONN to meet in the FF in anything. We played arguably the most memorable game in the history of women's basketball two years ago.

They want Baylor and ND. By the way, did you know the head coach at Baylor is the Mom of some kid named Kramer? No, not the one on Seinfeld. The other one. He played baseball at LSU....I think.***

 

[Cap'n Geech]

It's not as simple as 1 paired with 8, 2 paired with 7, and so on. Also, the NCAA committee had us in Albany in both reveals, so it's based on something.
