Women’s Selection

[The Sultan]

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.

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.

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.
