WBB Final: Notre Dame loses again

[MSUDC11]

Dropped a game at No. 25 Miami tonight. I’m sure that only helps our 1 seed chances.

General comment to the bracketolgy guy. So is ND still a 1 seed**

Another Thursday. More upheaval. ND gets upset by Miami and NC St goes down. Here is the update at the top. #1’s Baylor, Louisville, Oregon, UConn. #2’s ND, Miss St, Stanford, Marquette. Just like that UConn is back on the 1-line thanks to Miami. More to come...

And this would mean the top 2 seed goes to Albany with UConn. In other words us. I think I’d rather lose another game rather than having to do that.

If our ladies go undefeated the rest of the way (SEC regular season undefeated champions & win the SEC tourney in Greenville, SC) - they will be a #1 seed. This would require at a minimum wins over the following RPI ranked teams #31 Missouri, @ #22 Texas A & M, @ #17 South Carolina plus probably two top 30 RPI teams in the Tourney.

Oregon has 2 upcoming games against #7 OR State and currently #11 Stanford who will move up after the NC State loss.

 

[patdog]

This is the right answer. Win out and we're a #1 seed. Lose a 2nd game and we're gonna get screwed.

In that scenario, i think they send us to Greensboro, ND to Chicago, Stanford to Albany, Marquette to Portland.

With teams that are so closely ranked, they’ll be more worried about attendance (save putting a 1 and 2 from the same conference together).

But plenty of games still to go. Whatever seed we get, it would be nice if ND, UConn, and Oregon get the same seed...

I wouldn't mind playing UConn. I'd rather play them than Louisville or Oregon.

 

[She Mate Me]

I'm going to watch Oregon closely the next two weekends. They have looked very strong lately.

Agree 100%. UConn just doesn't put fear into folks like they used to. Their shooting % has been going down lately. Baylor, Oregon and Louisville scare me much more than UCONN. Obviously, us vs. UCONN in Greensboro is a lot less daunting than in Albany.

As long as we stay a #1 or #2 seed I don't see how we can get screwed. Either way it just means there is going to be one other really good team in the region that you will likely have to beat to get to the Final Four. Only thing I would want to avoid is having to play somewhere where that other really good team has a big home crowd advantage of some sort.

The women's bracketology guy, Charlie Creme, say that as of today the margin between us and uconn for the last #1 is narrow. However, even if we got the 1 we would be sent to Albany with uconn as the 2. I don't want that. We can definitely beat uconn, but I would rather not have to play them in a de facto home game for them.

Assuming we take care of business, it would be nice if Oregon would lose a game or 2. That way both us and uconn could be on the 1 line.

I agree with you, but the alternative if we are a 1 seed is playing Oregon in Portland, which is not any better and may actually be worse. Baylor and Louisville will be locked into Chicago and Greensboro if they win out, which they likely will.

There’s a good chance we are going to have to deal with a geographic disadvantage whatever way you slice it if we are a 1 seed. We strangely might have a more neutral Elite 8 game if we are a 2 that gets paired with Baylor and Louisville, although I’d like to avoid those two for as long as possible.

 

[Shooter McGavin.sixpack]

Good point. I was confused while reading the article. He had Stanford in Greensboro. Why couldn't we be sent there? Louisville is no pushover but would you rather play them in Greensboro or Uconn/Albany or Oregon/Portland?

 

[patdog]

Out of those 3, I think I'd rather play Oregon in Portland. I don't think Vic would make the same mistakes against them he did the last time.

 

[She Mate Me]

Low chance of this, but it would be nice and really good for us if South Carolina beat UConn's *** Monday night.

Tough ask at their place.

105-82 tonight @ Cal. 15 in a row since losing @ Mich St. They play Sunday @ Stanford.

Oregon might be playing better than anybody right now.
