Why do we always seem to draw UConn in 2nd round of Women's tourney?

[cto]

When there was an "eastern region," I could sort of understand it. But this is silly. They are sending 64 teams to San Antonio ... and we still potentially play top seed UConn in the second round (third time in five years).

Yeah. 3rd time in 5 years. Ridiculous.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

looks like a river walk to the final four

 

[orangenauburn]

Totally agree

It's a big efffff you to the program

I'd love to see them possibly poach one with Geno possibly sidelined.

They always seem to be an 8 or 9, even in years they should be a different seed. I actually thought they'd be a 10 this year. Years past I thought 6/7.

And S Dakota State women's team is pretty tough.

Yeah. 3rd time in 5 years. Ridiculous.

Geno needs to get over Q’s refusal to play UConn in Syracuse when Stewart was a senior.

 

[Orangefan1]

I thought at worse a six seed. This is a terrible seed for the women and unfair

 

[bballbeadle]

It’s a Conspiracy, I’m tellin’ ya!!!!

 

[HoustonCuse]

Women’s tourney is in San Antonio? Wonder what Charles Barkley have to say about this?

 

[blust2i3d4]

The Power in charge wants to make sure SU woman's basketball can't make the next step.

 

[stuckinbig11]

So, we need to crush them. Simple.

 

[Newhouser]

We need to do better in the regular season. We were inconsistent this year and can't have that as we continue to build our women's brand.

The Powers That Be just REALLY liked that 2016 title game
