Yeah, I kinda think so. Syracuse looked pissed.It may be because winner gets UConn
I meant how is Drake only a 10 seed. I know how the other stuff works.Stanford couldn't host, so KSU got to as the next-highest seed in that pod.
Great question. I thought they'd be an 8. Bizarre that Drake and UNI are both 10's...I meant how is Drake only a 10 seed. I know how the other stuff works.

I think he will be ready for us, if he has as good a memory as his fans. I was in an elevator on a cruise ship wearing an ISU ball cap when a lady came in wearing a UConn Women's Basketball sweatshirt. I looked at her and asked if she followed women's basketball. She stared at me and said "I know who Iowa State is". We had no further conversation.Yeah, I am sure Geno fears us.
For a team that's ranked #20, being a #10 seed is still bizarre. That means they're a #37 overall seed at best. Wow.ISU or Syracuse will trade their 8 and 9 for that 10. Just sayin'.
They don't give the minors much respect until they prove they can play and win like #8 Green Bay has and that's about as good a seed as they will ever give them.
My memory is this: the last time we played UConn, they beat us by 40. And it wasn't that close. I don't think Fennelly is any more excited about going to Bridgeport than apparently Syracuse is...I think he will be ready for us, if he has as good a memory as his fans.
Alexis Jones practiced with the team before the WV game and said her knee felt good enough to play. Coaches held her out for the NCAA tourney. Whether that was wise or not I don't know. If she comes back healthy and isn't rusty as so often is the case with injured ones, BU has as good of a chance as anyone to beat UConn. But better yet ,why don't the Sisters just take care of them for the rest of the field. That oughta make ten minutes worth of news on ESPN.I sure hope someone beats them. They've had close ones this year. They wouldn't be undefeated if they were in ACC, SEC, or Big 12. I sure hope Alex is ok at Baylor. Notre Dame is playing much better now than earlier.

I looked at this bracket when it was the first one to come up under Google. Somehow someone got it all messed up as they don't have UNI in and have Depaul as a 10 not a 7.Drake must have had an idea it would be like that though, they were doing a lot of lobbying before the MVC.
Yeah, don't follow that one. Here is the actual bracketI looked at this bracket when it was the first one to come up under Google. Somehow someone got it all messed up as they don't have UNI in and have Depaul as a 10 not a 7.

Drake had a #26 rpi which would justify a 6/7. They may, understandably be disappointed by a 10/7 match-up with #24 rpi KSU at Manhattan. UNI finished at #52 and ISU was at #60. Syracuse was #31 rpi. The committee was not greatly influenced by rpi in seeding. We are blessed to be in with a winnable first game. When the dance is behind us, it will be interesting to speculate on the in-state balance if Jennie Baranczyk remains at Drake.
