Canes WBB an 8 seed (vs Iowa 3/24 7:30pm)

[DCF in LA]

In Iowa City, so it will basically be a home game for the Hawkeyes.

And should they survive that, they're placed in the pod with the overall #1 Notre Dame. But still, it's nice to see both men's and women's teams making the Big Dance in the same season. Congrats to them.

Those Baylor girls on the selection show are stoned as ****.

Tough draw, but an awesome job by the ladies to get a #8 seed! I read in today's Miami Herald that this is the first time the ladies have made back-to-back NCAA Tourneys in the history of the program. To do it after losing our two superstars is an even bigger accomplishment!

I don't know too much about Iowa, but they should be beatable, even if it's practically a home game for them. If we win, Notre Dame would be really tough, but it would be on a neutral floor, which takes away some of their advantage. (Side note: why does the lower seeded team get the homecourt advantage? The same thing happened to us last year, where we had to play #11 Gonzaga on their own **** home floor. It's ridiculous.)

The Herald was way off. We made at least back to back appearances in the early 90s when we won the Big East twice in a row. Also, this is the 3rd straight year we've made it to the NCAAs, not just back to back.
