You see the Creme 68 do you see any big east teams other than UConn. We have a legitimate nine and are ranked by NET and everyone else as the number one conference in the nation. If you think Creme is right about UConn region you have to believe the rest of it.

Gee, that's funny. Because according to the NCAA, the s-curve flexibility is to minimize travel time for the teams. So what you're saying is that it's being done to make it easy for UConn fans to make sure that it's essentially a home game for UConn? It's a shame then that they don't cater to, you know, actual college basketball fans who go to watch games from other teams. And somehow, they wonder why they can't grow the sport. Go figure!

@Amb3096 why do you focus on UConn. They are not the focus of the seeding. SCAR is the focus. That's why poor NC State doesn't get Greensboro. If NC State would have beaten SCAR, then SCAR would be in Bridgeport. You earn the right play close to home by the regular season. Why does Tennessee get two games on their home court; 1) they earned it. 2) for the fans.

I am not saying it's being done for the fans. I am saying the fans are the only ones who care about it being Bridgeport. Sure the team would rather play in a friendly environment but actually UConn fans will be heard where ever the game is played.. As for me, I prefer UConn being in Greensboro because I live in South Carolina.

Creme has moved them into the number two seed with NC State so maybe they again get favored in the seedings when all is said and done. That would certainly be favoring them.

Creme doesn't matter. He's a hack who gets payed to post controversial subject matter. Stop worrying about Creme.

He is all we have today and of course we need to wait and see how it comes out. Still a lot of basketball to be played in the Big 12

True true. And we really don't know what the committee will see. Remember they use "The Eye Test" as part of their criteria. All this talk about where to place UConn. If you want to look at matchups to get to the FF, then UConn should want to go to Wichita as a #2. that's the easiest bracket.

Creme just released his new bracket and bumped UConn up to #6 overall with their impressive win over Villanova, thus landing them in Bridgeport. That better not be what the committee does.

That has been the plan all along lol ...who really thought they would not find a way to put UCONN in Bridgeport from the start ?

Well you lose bigtime so why even bring basketball up. Both men's and womens will have 9 plus teams in the NCAA. Right now your looking at one womens and the mens will do better but not nine.

You also have Voeple's 'Power Rankings' which is another joke. Check out some of the guys who at least use an algorithm to factor ranking.

Yes never put much into those or even the polls. I used to think Creme knew something, but he had several misses on the last reveal. Maybe he got it back together we'll see not really that important still got to play the games.

SC won the SEC season championship but lost the SEC tournament. A regular season SEC championship is banner worthy. I'm sure the LV's have hung many.

Disrespect this team if you want, but here is a quote from Geno, "We haven't played UConn basketball for 4 or 5 years. But we are starting to see that in this team."

😆 😆 😆

Just when you think GA can't say anything more stupid than his other statements this year, he projects another gem.

SC is the overall #1 seed. Why WOULDN'T they get Greensboro? But how is it that UConn gets to be placed in a regional in their home state over a team that earned a #1 seed? That should never happen. However, it seems that it's almost a guarantee for years where Bridgeport is a region and UConn doesn't earn a #1 seed.

And you can bet that UConn AND their fans would prefer Bridgeport vs. Greensboro, where they'd have to beat SC just to make it to the FF. You know full well that they'd rather play NC State or Louisville.

It's not the offense that is clicking. It's the defense.

Yes, you've had tremendous defense against a bunch of awful teams. Massey #43 DePaul was your best win, and they aren't picked as a tournament team. Then you have a handful of teams ranked around #60, and then 5 under #120 (3 under #200). I don't think that defense would be as effective against a top 25 caliber team.
