Bracketology

I'm resigned to us being a 6 seed and Duke being a 3.

If Omier were available 6 is better than 5 IMO… without Omier we need the highest seed possible to get to the second weekend.

I don’t care what our seed just want an Orlando game

Why do you have us so high

That’s funny

Women's team is projected as a 9 seed in ESPN's bracketology.

Who’s the 1 ?

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

So do we know how much time Omier is expected to miss? How bad is the injury?

 

[Notsince1985]

Indiana

Indiana

Lunardi at 330 has us in Greensboro...

so we may finally get to prove were better than Tennessee?
(assuming we can beat Utah st)

Of course this will likely change, but its funny in a way:
its sorta the same as being a 3 and tenessee a 6

9 seed is about right though I think this is a little low and might be a motivating factor for the girls.

Indiana with 11 losses and Iowa State with 13 both above us here? Lol.

Doesn't matter. The women's bracket is straight chalk most of the time. The difference between a 1 seed and a 9 seed is significantly larger in women's hoops compared to the men's side. That said, Miami desperate needs the Cavinder twins to shoot lights out and get Harden going. If Miami can find a way to win shootouts, they stand a shooter's chance. Losing Spearman hurt, because she was so athletic and could run the floor as a big. Loving #44s sheer bulk, but she's a year or so away from being a legit consistent force.

You'll get nothing and like it.




I wanted an Orlando game too. **** Duke.

Apparently a 5 seed has never won the tourney. What might be the reason for this ?????

5 seeds aren’t as good at basketball as 1-4 seeds.

Doesn’t answer the question I’m sure people smarter than you might be able to give it a go.

Okay. Here’s the simple answer in which you were looking. Teams given a 1 or 2 seed have better talent and also an easier path to win 6 straight games. It’s pretty cut and dry

That’s a standard answer any 3 year old with all due respect knows that. Many many top seeds have not ended up winning the whole thing. It literally has to do with the 5th position. Never ever like I said has a 5 seed won it all that’s unusual in my opinion. Perhaps it’s a fluke and nobody has the answer.
