No. 4 seed in UConn's bracket. Yuck.

They will be the 3 seed in Little Rock. Will face the Kentucky-Vanderbilt winner, which we are 1-2 against this season.

Tennessee is the 2 seed, and they lost one of their starters to injury since we played them. If we can find a way to get to the final, we may can get a 3 seed in the NCAAs and avoid a Sweet 16 game against the Amazonian women of Storrs.

Now that I am not on my phone, I will edit for the Grammar nazis:

ESPN Bracketology now has MSU Women's Basketball Team as a Top 4 seed and Host for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.

However, there is one problem: They are projected as a No. 4 seed in the Albany Region, which features No. 1 Connecticut.

At the SEC Tournament in Little Rock, they will be the No. 3 seed. They have the double bye, and will face the winner of the Kentucky/Vanderbilt game on Friday. Kentucky beat us and we split games with Vanderbilt.

If we can get past UK/Vandy, we will likely play the No. 2 seed, Tennessee. Tennessee lost a key starter to an ACL injury in the last couple of weeks, so they may not be as tough as they were when we played them in Knoxville. If we can find a way to win two games in the SEC Tournament, that might be good enough to bump us up to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and avoid Connecticut until at least the Elite Eight.

I agree with you, play good in Little Rock, get to finals or Last 4 standing and we will host. We contol our own destiny at this point.

I think we've done and proven enough to host. But our RPI/SOS is holding us back. A win against Kentucky on Friday would help, they have a really high RPI and are in contention to host.

Kentucky's a good team, no doubt. But we lost on an OT buzzer beater on their home court, it's not like we can't beat them.

Yeah actually in double OT. One lady official had a thing for UK

And screwed us every chance she could. I hope we get some sweet revenge.

How can you watch women's basketball?

It's not the same as watching women's beach volleyball...

Our women's team is actually pretty fun to watch. I've seen them play 4 or 5 times this year.

Ir's just not for me...

I will watch women's tennis if it's Sharapova, Woznoacki, Bouchard, etc..

I just can't get into women's basketball, even if it's MSU. I would rather watch any men's sports, especially CBB.
