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

[zaqhhh]

USF is a team like us that really depends on the day. Looked atrocious at times, looked like they could play anyone at others.

Not an easy 5-12 but we played ourselves into that.

OSU isn’t great either for us.

If somehow we emerge from that I like TX as one of the weaker 1s

OK going to Columbus. Facing South Florida. I don't know anything about the Lady Bulls or Buckeyes except Buckeyes like to press as well.

 

[37620VOL]

Done us dirty, ouch

 

[SGMVols]

It is not a lock that we beat South Florida. They’ve beaten Duke. That’s a tough 12 draw.

Massey favors us 77-64 over USF and favors Ohio St. 77-74 over us on their homecourt.

I hope we can make a run in the tournament.

No UConn in Birmingham region.

Y'all, I like it. Obviously it won't be easy, but this is not (to me, anyway) giving "Bracket of Doom" vibes like so many of Tennessee's paths have over the years.

 

[Scotty4lvs]

a pretty rough draw.

I don't like it at all...a veteran coach in round 1 and a team that can athletically keep up in round 2...hope the team is at their best!

 

[AllVols3]

Texas is in our lower region. Might potentially face them in final 4.

We'd face Texas in tge S16 game

 

[RAVOL]

Massey favors us 77-64 over USF and favors Ohio St. 77-74 over us on their homecourt.

Interesting out of all the brackets getting to final 4 it's this one. Someone tell me about Oh St ?

 

[Voltopia]

South Florida averages 66 points per game, ranked 157th in Division 1, and its defense is ranked 91st giving up 60.5 points per game. Curious to take a peek at their schedule and see what stood out.

Ditto. GBO.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Potential Louisville vs TCU second round matchup. Van Lith vs former team. I like the committee’s commitment to drama.

very similar to us but a bit more well rounded as they have a system they run and have been for a while. they don’t press 24/7 like us but they can press pretty well.

 

[JustaChicken]

They about to pin UCLA & USC against each other in the final 4.

 

[AllVols3]

I don't like it at all...a veteran coach in round 1 and a team that can athletically keep up in round 2...hope the team is at their best!

It wasn't going to be easy no matter where we were. It's not supposed to be as a #5 seed. Take care if business in game 1and play to our potential in 2nd and we can win it too. Texas is the #1 seed I'd want to play to make the E8

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

 

[Voltopia]

Good bracket or bad bracket, it feels like Tennessee's destiny is in its own hands. Good Tennessee can get to Texas. Not Good Tennessee can burn out in the first round. They've shown they can compete. But it's up to them.

Done us dirty, ouch

That's what happens when you lose games to the likes of last place Georgia.

 

[lvocd]

So happy for Marta Suarez!

 

[RAVOL]

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

 

[NoBackBoard]

Kentucky vs Liberty will be a fun post battle with Strack vs Smuda.

 

[Voltopia]

"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.

 

[JustaChicken]

That UConn vs Southern Cal matchup would be great.
