WBB Tourney Seed selection - Page 4

Ames may be the best home court advantage in women's basketball

SCohioBoy · 03-18-2014, 10:14 AM

I got UCONN, SC, UK and Tenn in the Final Four.

I probably would as well. We are the least "hot" #1 seed right now. Voepel picked us in the final 4 at least.

I'll gladly face UNC over being a #2 in the bracket with Notre Dame or UConn.

There is a lot of outrage of us getting a #1 over Stanford. We really aren't getting a lot of respect at all. Nearly every WBB columnist/analyst on ESPN said we would be the first #1 seed to lose. Looking at the SOS, I can see why Stanford deserves a #1 over us. However, this lack of respect nationally hopefully motivates this team to play even better.

Voepel also picked us to be the first #1 seed to lose. Granted she has all 4 #1 seeds in the Final Four so that doesn't make much sense. In her scenario, we really can't be the first #1 to lose as there are guaranteed 2 #1 seeds to lose.

I have all the number 1 seeds. To me, it looks like UConn got the toughest bracket, though it probably won't look tough to them.

Haha, well not EVERYONE else. I'm pretty close too. When I first moved to California, I saw us play Stanford in the Super Regional back in 2001. If we make it that far, may have to make a trip to Palo Alto to see the women play.

JerseyBird · 03-18-2014, 01:58 PM

spork lives in Seattle (per his sidebar stats), so I'd say he still beats you

JerseyBird · 03-18-2014, 02:00 PM

You figure we get the #1 seed glory but assuming Stanford can make it through the tough Iowa section as previously noted, they've got the home court for the Sweet 16 round so who's really in the best position?

Well not if the Sweet 16 gets played in Palo Alto

I think we match up well vs. Stanford.

rosstheboss · 03-18-2014, 03:52 PM

At what point will you be disappointed that we didn't make it further? The national championship of course! But realistically will you be disappointed if we don't make the Elite 8? Final 4?

Well that's a good thing - I was looking at it merely from a logistics standpoint. Seems to me being #2 isn't so bad if you get to play at home for a couple games - I'd take that over being called #1 but having to play at #2's home court (potentially)

I will be disappointed with anything short of elite 8.

Well logistically it's better than being 2 seed and have to play Notre Dame in South Bend or Uconn in Lincoln or having to play UT in Louisville. Where you play matters less than who you play. We had a pretty good draw.

Final Four would be really nice.

ReadR00ster · 03-18-2014, 05:51 PM

I would be disappointed that we didn't make it to the elite 8. But knowing what we have next year, I'll be over it pretty quick.

Sweet 16 is a must. I feel like we need to justify our #1 seed. Hope the team plays with a chip on their shoulder to prove these doubters wrong. They don't need to prove anything to me. 16 is a minimum but I want further for them and the doubters.

Plus a chance to possibly wacth them in Palo Alto.

Cockhornleghorn · 03-18-2014, 07:23 PM

I WANNT a national championship, but I also know we will have more talent next season. It doesn't necessarily mean we'll have a better team, though. This team has excellent chemistry.
