Looks like someone released the women's bracket early on ESPNU. If true the are going to College Station to face Rice in the first round as a 5 seed. 4 seed is A&M. ND is the 1 seed in the region.

if they win two it's on to Chicago
Do we know if that's legit? Seems really unlikely they would place both Marquette & DePaul (the only two Big East teams) in the same region playing into Chicago.
Yes Watched it on ESPN.
yea it is correct.. If MU Women win 2, they get to face ND again.... ugh >:(
Absolutely BRUTAL. Spend most of the season as a top 10 team. Lose 2 games late in the season and go from hosting a pair of games to playing a virtual road game and a true road game. Just really rough.
I'll be there with bells on!
Crap I might get fired after this

That's why the collapse in the BET final was so upsetting - they probably would have moved back up to a 4 seed and hosting had they won that game like they should have.
What concerns me most right now is facing a team in the first round that has a 6'9" center - MU is weak in post defense with Davenport being out for the year.
I'm also kind of disappointed the whole bracket was leaked - I enjoy going to the Selection Show parties and seeing the team's reaction to their name being called - things were rather anti-climactic this year.

As I said in a couple of posts about the men's seedings and/or snubs ... then don't lose.
You want to get into the tournament, win another game or two. You want a top-4 seed, don't fade down the stretch and lose to a couple of bad BEast teams.
