Just One Question

[surrealvol]

Maybe it is on here somewhere and I've missed it, but I have a question.

Why are we, as the 5th ranked team in the country, seeded 8th in the tournament and playing the number one seed right off?

Check out who is playing, what their end of season ranking was, and what their seeding is in the tournament, and explain this to me, please!

Same reason our men's Bball team got a #2 seed? :dunno:

Those wacky women's college baseball selection committee members!

I asked that the other day and I think it was hvwarrior who told me that the low seed was a result of the Lady Vols SEC record.

The SEC teams were not given much respect in the seeding in favor of the PAC 10 teams is all.

Plus lack of national coverage of the sport makes seeding difficult.

Lack of interest in the sport makes seeding irrelevant.

Any Vol win is a good win. Even if its an obscure sport. :thumbsup:

 

[BHAMVOLFAN]

I'm not sure SB will be so obscure anymore. I'm hooked.

Can someone explain to me why they play on a field that is the same size my son outgrew at the age of 12? Maybe they should make women's basketball a half court game.

It's softball.

Men's softball is played on a small field too. That's just the way it is.

I think it's a lot harder to go yard with a softball than with a baseball. They're heavier and bulkier, I don't think they get nearly as much air time as baseballs.

Thanks for an actual answer Milo. "That's just the way it is" is not worth posting in reply.

 

[OrangeSquare]

Well sorry to disapoint you, but guess what......

That's just the way it is!!!!!

LOL
