I don't think they want to force a knockout of either UConn or Louisville so early as I think the fan base of both are important to the committee. If they are not, why all the talk of geographic location of the team placements?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-23257308106176958432014-02-24T16:22:26.774-05:002014-02-24T16:22:26.774-05:00I hope we get a #1 seed too but in all honesty unl...I hope we get a #1 seed too but in all honesty unless we beat UConn on the 3rd and TN beats SC in their final game of the season it's pretty hard to argue that we deserve a #1 more than SC, particularly considering their overall SOS and the 23 point beat down they laid on UK last weekend. <br /><br />With us hosting a regional we clearly have the inside track but SC seems like a #1 seed looking at it objectively. Hard to tell with Stanford given their schedule, but I think they are a lock due to the West Coast thingy. To me objectively it looks like UConn, ND, Stanford, SC.<br /><br />Not trying to be negative here but to me once you get to the tourney it doesn't matter. The worst thing a team can do is worry about seeding going into the dance. They need to just focus on balling their brains out. You're eventually going to have to play and beat the best if you are going to be a champion. Assuming we finish the season strong I like our mojo going into the tourney, regardless of seed.<br /><br />Go Cards!BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-87744702351501773432014-02-24T14:44:54.862-05:002014-02-24T14:44:54.862-05:00I'm with you Mike, I just do not see the commi...I'm with you Mike, I just do not see the committee putting Connecticut in the Louisville regional. I hope we are both right. A win next Monday would go a long way in insuring that does not happen. <br />The stars may be aligning to make this a possibility. 8 scholarship players.<br />KML currently sidelined with mono. Mo Jefferson is wearing a boot on her foot (though playing through whatever is going on with her foot...Geno described her as "hobbled") and Banks has been playing on and off all season on a bum ankle that keeps getting turned. <br />It will have to be a perfectly executed game plan to pull this off. I am feeling hopeful with this matchup, which is certainly not the usual case. <br /><br />I look at Creme's bracketology, mostly for fun, though I do not put a lot of stock in his selections.

Other top seeds in Louisville Regional are UConn #1, West Virginia #3, Kentucky #4, Michigan State #5 and North Carolina #6.<br /><br />How about UConn vs UK and Louisville vs North Carolina?<br /><br />Although I still have trouble believing that the NCAA would put UConn in Louisville setting up a potential fourth matchup prior to the Final Four.Mike Dnoreply@blogger.com
