    Ames would be much closer than Boulder. 11 seed would be nice too. Charlie also must give a little credit to OOC schedule. Now we need the women to win the Summit tourney.

      If we win out I don't think we have any chance at an 11 seed...

          I would agree.

            I would like to see the women win out as well. That might be as difficult as an 11 seed.

              The committee can up a seed or down a seed one level to get a travel "fit" for the 11-15 group. I think what we're seeing with this projection is getting sent to an Iowa site by Charlie. I'd say our seed now is about the best of the one bid leagues.

                Heck, let's have a little fun with this thread. I predict the women stumble a few times in conference and finish 11-3 in Summit League play. They win the Summit Tourney...again. They get a #14 seed and travel to Ames to match up with #3 seed Iowa State in the first round.

                  You definitely have just the same odds of being right as any of the fulltime experts. I doubt that any of the dozens and dozens of bracketology preditions shared here over the past five years have turned out to be correct.

                  My guess: The inconsistencies we've seen both game-to-game and even within single games will lead to losses in two Summit games. Let's just hope one of them is not in Sioux Falls! Predicted seed: 14. Location: probably the home court of whomever we play.

                    You are probably right about Charlie projecting partly due to geography. However, as we have seen the past 5 years geography doesn't mean crap for us.

                      Good point. We've been to Lubbock, Norman, Cincinnati, West Lafayette and Boulder. During that time Ames and Iowa City have held 1st round games (more than once, if I remember correctly.)

                        I would endorse the idea of a closer game. Geography has not been in the selection committee's concern for the Jackrabbits. Although we were a little closer last year than some. It may even be nice if Sioux Falls could land a game for the women's NCAA tourney. This is supposed to be fun.

                            I think we need Charlie to be on the selection committee!

                              STILL an 11 seed playing against Purdue in West Lafayette. UND is a 14 seed playing in West Lafayette also
