OK Fellow Experts on Women BB, pick the 16 teams that will host first rounds

[SGMVols]

But that 2nd round matchup, oof

ISU will be tough

 

[VolBall09]

We host, like I said though those first couple games are going to be tough. St. Louis is a team on a roll, we have to come to play or they might shock us.

 

[VolBall09]

Yes!!! Same region as Virginia Tech

 

[And1]

Not crazy about going up against Iowa st, though.

 

[travis929]

Wash. St. a 5 makes me nervous that we could end up a 6.

Never mind!!!

 

[lvocd]

You could knock me over with a feather!

They can’t guard us in the paint. Period. Horston and Jackson both matchup with Joens really well. I’d take that matchup.

Also they have to get through their first round game lol as do we. We shall see who we play!

ISU will be tough

It's not cake and roses, but it'll be in Knoxville and Tennessee will have their shot to get to the Sweet 16.

 

[VolBall09]

6 seed for UNC. Knew they weren’t getting a top 16, ACC fell apart down the stretch.


2 seed for UConn in our region.

 

[And1]

Of course UConn gets the easiest bottom half of the bracket.

Exactly what I was afraid of. Worst 4 gets worse draw than best 5. Ya'll shoulda been careful what you wished for. Iowa St is really, really good. And UConn in the bracket. Games at home not worth it. This will be a tall, tall task.

If we play Iowa St, that will match up two Cheryl Miller finalists, Rickea and Ashley Joens.

Neither am I. They just won the Big 12 tournament and Ashley Joens is Caitlin Clark lite - we will have our hands full trying to contain her.

 

[VolBall09]

This reveal is so weird. The announcers are in the dark for sure. You’d think they would at least let them know a minute or two ahead so they can actually present and not just be surprised lol

I don’t think it’s a bad draw at all aside from being in the same region as UConn as the 2.

 

[VolBall09]

Of course UConn gets the easiest bottom half of the bracket.

It’s so annoying. The committee stays loving to put us in the same bracket. It’s just a yawn at this point. The want the drama for views.

you have to contain joens but other than that we can beat them. They will have a fit trying to guard Jackson and Horston in the paint.

I agree, and Hollingshed. They don’t matchup well with us at all. Our guards can actually guard their guards as well. Donarski is a good defender but cannot score on Walker, guarantee you.

 

[glv98]

Stanford gets 1 seed. Not sure about that

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

The lady Vols will have to come out and play well. This is no time to feel relaxed anyway. We have to work for good shots and hit them. Our D and rebounding has to kick it up, we have to be a better moving and passing team in this tournament. We can’t be making senseless turnovers on offense. Glad we’re hosting though, we should gain some confidence and motivation playing at home.

Anymore there are no ‘bad’ teams in the tournament. You have to come to play every game.


I still forget Horston went out last season and we made the Sweet 16. Still surprises me when you think about what we were working with after she went out.

 

[And1]

Can’t believe Texas is a 4, and really can’t believe Duke is a 3.

 

[SGMVols]

MTSU could win that game. Colorado isn’t that great. We handled them easily

 

[VolBall09]

Iowa gets a 2

That will be a good game I think

 

[VolBall09]

FSU/UGA will be good too
