March Madness 2019

Re: March Madness 2019

What ifs. What if we had beaten Baylor and/or Oregon.

I've definitely had this same thought. We keep creeping up the seed lines year after year making us all wonder if one day we will be a top-4 or better seed someday. That would be something special!

Re: March Madness 2019

Who should we be cheering for to potentially move up?

Current projected 5 seeds: Missouri, Marquette (won't pass them), Gonzaga, Arizona State
Current projected 6 seeds: UCLA, Florida State, Kentucky, SDSU

I'd say Gonzaga ,they barely beat St Marys 78-77 (2 OT ) in their semi and lost in their Conf championship game to BYU (3rd loss to them this season 0-3). Only if the Selection Committee truly evaluates teams on their last performances, as they say they do, for seeding purposes. I don't expect them to give us any gifts though, I think if we get a six seed, we ought to thank our lucky stars.

This. I'll believe the prediction when I see it actually happen

Re: March Madness 2019

Captain Obvious would much rather be a 6-seed playing a 3-seed if we win. Rather than 7 playing a 2. That whole fine line in WBB where the quality really starts to fall off in that 8-12 range.

HeroSports.com has us ranked #12 FWIW,

Re: March Madness 2019

How about both SDSU & USD both win a couple games so they start taking us seriously instead of looking at us as the little try-hards from the state no one cares about?

Punch 'em in the mouth, ladies!

Per the third item on the "Did You Know" section on the attached link, late season injuries are taken into account. http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/...101-selections

Also, here is a link to the team sheets and other resources the committee used to select the 64 team field. https://extra.ncaa.org/solutions/rpi...ages/Home.aspx

Gonzaga earlier were sure looking like they were going to crack the mid-major #4 seed barrier (getting to host 1st and 2nd round games), but they've dropped off some lately.

Oh yah, cool, I didn't notice that.....hope so! Another gem, playing Iowa St in Ames,if we get by Quinnipiac, there probably would be a lot of Jacks fans, I'd assume, if this came about

This one also has USD as a 6. I think they get in, but that seems a bit high to me.

Re: March Madness 2019

In order to get a close ( Ames or Iowa City ) game, the Jacks would need to get a #5 seed (Iowa State is projected as a 4 ) or a #7 seed ( Iowa is a 2 ). According the the final bracketology the Jacks are right in-between at a 6.

Here is a site that has projected game results and has us advancing to the Sweet 16. But then their site has us ranked pretty high. It’s good to see that the women have some national eyes on them.
