Us in portland with Oregon or Baylor in Greensboro with USC?

Us by far...although I don’t really think we got “screwed” considering that we were the last 1-seed. USC isn’t nearly as good as Oregon, and Baylor still got the closest regional to Waco. Not sure what else they could have done with Baylor....they were gonna get screwed no matter what due to being the most isolated school from all the host sites.

Louisville. By far. MSU and Baylor got pretty good draws.

Evonne complains about the draw for us but I have yet to see anyone tell me how it could of been drawn up any different. And I’ll be honest I was hoping for the draw we got. It was that or Albany

Everyone not Evonne

I understand why we were sent to Portland as the last one seed. But don’t let Oregon play in their backyard as the lower seed. That’s horse crap. Somebody like Stanford or Iowa would’ve been more fair, but less tickets would’ve been sold and that’s all they care about.

But also as the last 1 seed you should play one of the top 2 - 2 seeds

Well usc is getting the chicken shite stomped out of them...

Down 20 halfway through 2Q.

Chicago is closer than Greensboro. Not sure why people continue to perpetuate this myth

 

[patdog]

Because Notre Dame was always going to be the #1 seed in Chicago.

I’m not sure Oregon even was one of the Top 2 two seeds. They struggled down the stretch. Stanford was also a 2 and beat them in the PAC 12 title game. Virtually the same overall record and RPI.

We are. Oregon and UConn are easily the top 2-seeds.

Yeah but Oregon beat Stanford on the road in the regular season, more than offsetting Stanford’s win in the tourney, AND won the regular season PAC 12 title. That carries way more weight than a conference tourney championship. Oregon deserved the top 2-seed.

My bad....but it is only less than 100 miles difference. Like patdog said, there’s no way they were going to send ND to Greensboro so that Baylor fans could drive 97 miles less on what would be a 1,000+ mile trip in any scenario.

If they really want to be fair AND sell tickets, let on-campus sites host the S16/E8 too. It would really reward the #1 seeds for their outstanding regular seasons.
