Didn't he say we are the 4th #1 seed? Wouldn't that mean we should play UConn in the Final Four since they're the overall #1 seed?

That's not necessarily how it works. The top 1 seed doesnt have to play the last 1 seed but I could almost guarantee you that UCONN and ND will be opposite sides to set up the national championship

You have to take Geography into account. That's what screws up a pure #1 overall vs. #4 overall and #2 vs. #3 overall seed when you try to plan the Final Four. Although we'd be the 4th overall seed (i.e., the last #1 seed) because of how the regions are set up, we'd be paired against Notre Dame if the #1's made it to the Final Four. UConn would meet Stanford in the other Final Four matchup.

That geography's the same reason that Louisville, despite its own high overall seed (first or second #2), could end up with the overall #1 seed UConn in its bracket for a Elite Eight matchup.

So which is a better deal...... #1 seed in Seattle, or a #2 seed in Chapel Hill?

Would prefer not to play Diamond until we have too! LOL

How about a 1 on 1 game of Diamond DeShields vs. Tiffany Mitchell! That would be one hell of a matchup!

I'd rather be in Seattle on a truly neutral court

We still have business to take care of before its even a discussion.

In Lexington Thursday night against UK will be one hell of a game! Keep winning, the games keep getting bigger!

Yeah, Seattle at #1 seed hopefully with Washington not making the tournament in the Nebraska bracket (good things happen for us in Nebraska)is the best scenario we can ask for.

North Carolina as a 7 last week was a complete joke.

You're the one who asked the question

You mean they were underrated or overrated? This week they are a projected 5 seed.......

Their 3 straight loses at the end of last month and beginning of this month really hurt them...... (Syracuse (home), Miami (home), and Georgia Tech (road)........ add they lost to Tenn earlier in the year at home....... and Maryland at home......

Losing 4 games at home definitely hurts them...... but their win against us here at the beach....... still not sure what the hell happened there!

Getting a number 1 seed with such a young team would be huge. We've shown we can win on the west coast.

[Luke Skycocker]

The latest edition has us playing in Ames. I DO NOT want to have to play there, they have one of the best home court advantages in all of women's basketball.

[U-Dub Gamecock]

This team can win anywhere....

Lately, we've probably been playing as well or better on the road than at home. That is the mark of a great team.

[ucan'tlickourcocks]

Win out..... win the SEC tourney, then tell the selection committee where WE want to go!

[Luke Skycocker]

I like being in the Lincoln regional because I don't Nebraska will live to see us there, but if we're gonna have to play on someone else's home court, there are much better places to play than Ames.

Still projected as a 1 seed

That's awesome, but I think we need to win the SECT in order to keep it. We might squeak in if we get to the SECTCG.
