NCAA Women's Tournament Selection Show Thread - Tennessee Lady Volunteers, No. 5 seed in Birmingham Region 3

[Rickster]

Ohio State leapfrogged our program a while back so going through the Buckeyes seems like the right thing to do. I like our chances but both games will be tough. Maybe Karma will even out after our last visit to Ohio.

Looks like CT will easily skate into the SoCal matchup.

Do they have a good big? Or they rely quickness in post?

like us they don’t have a good solidified post. they switch a couple players in the 4/5 spot. they have good guards.

"UConn is coming into this tournament on a mission." Oh I'm sorry, were they not coming in on a mission the other nine years since 2016? Just there for fun the last few trips?

Announcers use the silliest platitudes sometimes. "They're on a mission." Yeah okay.

Did I sense a little disappointment in the ESPN studio?

Heh, you know it. Easier to get the trophy for photo ops when it's only 40 minutes away.

Kim’s first watch party? Where was everybody?!

Also I’m mostly fine with UConn’s seeding but of course we got stuck with USC. Oh well, at least it’s not Texas’ bracket. That one is pretty tough.

There we are. 5th seed against USF, winner to likely face Ohio State.

The lady vols should make it at least to the sweet 16 no doubt. Round of 32 game vs Ohio State? Give me Tennessee.

USF won’t score enough to keep up at our pace and OSU has one day to prepare. Nice setup for us to get two wins on the road and head to the S16

Hope you are right!

definitely a weak watch party. looked like it was the team and that’s it. didn’t even see the coaches.

better hope we can score. we’ve lacked that the last couple games..

Thanks. Since we blew our opportunity to play at Home I believe we got as good a draw we could ask for. One advantage getting out of conference to me is a plus getting rest and recharged. If we make shots we will play Texas. Thanks again. In CHRIST Alone

Their primary post option is Ajae Petty, formerly from Kentucky. Not a terrible matchup for Zee.

very similar players.

At least they weren't picking their nose......or acting like they've never seen a TV before.

Preach it. I am with you. I look forward to a rematch with Texas. GBO.

Yeah, they more or less set up UConn to rematch USC with the story of paying back the home loss. USC/Juju Watkins vs UConn/Bueckers. Pop that rating and sell those ad buys. Which, to be fair, is what a lot of the tournament is about.

Same type of player. Did they beat anybody good?

 

[stllvf]

win and progress is the only slogan that carries forward each year. the LVs are not overmatched by any of the other three teams in their first weekend. Given they are not hosting it is a favorable 5 seed introduction.

Imo the LV's best have gotten whatever was affecting them the last three weeks straighten out or they could be making a quick exit .

Hell and it didn’t even look like it was the whole team!

Compared to the other watch parties, it looked rather pitiful. I didn’t see any of the coaches present?

Against Cambridge and Coty? They give me Pierre and Blakes, and we couldn’t beat that duo.

alabama and ole miss also 5's I believe the O St foursome is better for the LVs
