Even if ISU isn't in the DSM region, I would think Iowa would have gotten there. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people in Hilton then in Wells Fargo
That is amazing. I was thinking how refreshing it was to not see Geno's face all over the promo's. They want/need to have UConn be successful. I'd like to see how they'd travel. Once.
Britney Griner in dsm region. My plan to marry and father her nastily tall babys so I never have to worry about money again is starting to play itself out.
Baylor + Tennessee = a pretty interesting potential regional in DSM. People who go there may see Pat Summitt's last game.
So the women (could) get Kentucky in Ames and the men (could) get Kentucky in Louisville. Which one has the better shot at the second weekend?
Personally, I think it's the women. They've had a difficult conference season and that experience could help with both Green Bay and Kentucky. Both teams will have to have incredible shooting nights to win any of these games.

My first impression is that the Big 12 got a great shake with 6 teams in. Our loss to KSU really hurt us. While we may not be anxious to face GB again (we barely squeaked a win 2 yrs. ago) I'm sure GB isn't thrilled to be coming back to Ames - the previous loss surely left a bad taste in their mouth. Bottom line, we were hoping to get in, now we're in, so tighten the shoe strings, suck it up, and show them we will protect our home turf!
Actually 7, believe it or not. Kansas was a bit of a surprise. The committee loved the Big 12.
Sorry, thanks for the correction. Just saw Kansas and Texas were in last group in. In addition, Okie State was in group last out !!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget Elena Della Donne, not sure of the spelling, one of the best players in the country, plays for Delaware. I would have preferred to see ND as I would like to see Diggins play in person but this was the closest region for Baylor.
I'll be there. I guess I need to brush up on my Rocky Top because I will cheer for Tenn. till I'm hoarse to BEAT BAYLOR! God I hate everything about the ******* university.
They are not under seeded. You start breaking down their schedule and they are seeded correctly.

I could easily flip DePaul/Louisville for Arkansas & Nebraska, but to say Green Bay is under seeded is false.
