I'm not up on them as much as some, but it looks highly unlikely that they'll get to host the 2nd weekend unless they beat South Carolina on the road, assuming both win out all other games. SC's SOS currently sits at 9 and ours at 36 according to Warren Nolan and they still play UConn in mid February. Assuming everything goes according to script, SC will host and we'll probably be a #2 seed unless 2 SEC teams are allowed to host. Am I missing something?

I'd take a 2 seed today and I bet VS would too.

You are missing something. Campus hosting only occurs in the first weekend. Second weekend is at predetermined sites.

You're right. My bad. We played UConn last year in the Sweet 16 but it was in Bridgeport, not Storrs. Host sites for regional semis and finals are Bridgeport again, Oklahoma City, Lexington, and Stockton, CA. I guess we just don't want to be the #2 seed in the Bridgeport regional.

Thanks for clarifying.

My stance on our WBB team is like it was on our baseball team. A regular season SEC title makes me not care about the post season nearly as much.

I've said all along that we have to win the conference and the conference tournament to be a 1 seed. That includes probably beating SC twice. Once in Columbia and once in the SEC tourney.

As big of a step up as our nonconference schedule was this year, we've still only played one team so far that is currently ranked (Texas). RPI is at 4 but SC is still ahead of us,

UConn and Baylor are getting 1 seeds. Right now you've got MSU, SC, Notre Dame, and Maryland battling for two spots. They won't give the SEC both of them unless ND and Maryland drop several games.

I disagree to an extent. This is going to go down as a historic season regardless of how far we go in the tourney (good chance to be the first men's or women's team at MSU to win 30 games), but we have no tradition like we do in baseball.

Had we gone to Omaha and finished 3rd or 5th, while a tremendous season, it's not like we've never done that before. And we will do it again within the next 5-10 years I bet.

This is the best team in program history for the women. You don't know when another one this good will come along. Not getting to the Sweet 16 would be a failure, and not getting to the Elite 8 would be fairly disappointing.

Call me when they are in the Final Four.
