Not making an expanded tournament field would just exacerbate the humiliation.

They where teams in the wnit who could have beaten 14 ,15,, 16 NCAA tournament seeds easily like BYU
Seed 14-16 would be earned in round 1
24 teams going for 12 teams spots

While first 52 teams get seedlings 1-13 and a bye

I remember when the powers that be decided the top 16 teams would host the first rounds. We were so excited because we wouldn’t have to travel until the Sweet 16. Uuuum. Yep….

This poll is painful. I voted get in with expansion and really feel that is being very positive.

Who would have ever thought we would sink so low, and so quickly! Thanks, Danny Boy. I feel sick.

and Pat was insulted that time we got a Two Seed.😞😞

Why expand to 76? If you are going to expand, just go to 128 or 256 or just let them all in - seed them and play it down to 1.

The more teams the more watered down getting there implies. Just saying.

Damn near impossible for them to find enough teams as it is.

Yes, when a team that barely broke even with 16 wins is in - it is not time to look at adding more.

With 76 there will probably be a team with a losing record unless the plan is to allow more mid-majors into the tourney.

Pat was downright PISSED that year...that team should have been a 1 by far !!!

My 2 cents - they need to drop the 8 team play-in and go back to 64.
That's plenty.

Watering down the tourney to this level has got to be just about TV $. Sad really.

I'm probably not the average viewer but this is the first year in a long time where other than the Tennessee first round game and the WVU/UK second round, I really didn't check in until the Elite 8. I just didn't see anything that compelling to sit down and watch.

I remember that! Gosh, to think that way back in the day it was practically a forgone conclusion that Tennessee would not only get a 1 seed, but that we more often than not reached the Final Four.

It’s so unfair what happened to Pat. Before she started going down fast, she was in great shape. She was both physically and mentally fit and would STILL be coaching — and winning. 😪
