Agree, it was obvious he was disappointed, along with Lobo and sour Landers. Then Lobo does a spotlight on how dominant UConn is, gotta love that objectively!

That is exactly why I want to see them in the South Carolina bracket in Greensboro. It would humble them and chances are, that dominant Big East team won't make the final four. J.S.

Were the number one four seed and could move up to number three seed if we win two games in the SEC Tourney. Never pay any attention to Charlie Creme again as I could not make any logic out of his selections and neither can the actual NCAA committee. We still have to win that first game, but if we do I feel were safe in making the top 16. A second win were a three no doubt in my mind.

Dye, Burrell, Puckett, and Walker were 13 for 48 against LSU. If were going to win any game going forward they have to shoot better than 27 percent. Just shooting 30 wins the LSU game. Burrell only 4 of 18, Dye 5 of 15 are two key players that have to lead the offense along with Key. Walker coming in at 2 for 8 and Puckett 2 for 9 have been doing a lot better. I hope all these days off will give them all some rest because this is 100 percent why we lost to LSU.

I agree. Indeed, with one additional basket from Rae and one additional basket from Snoop, the LVs wins. Better FT shooting also would have done the job. Look for Rae, Snoop, and Sara to have a much better game on Thursday. I believe the LVs will benefit from the additional rest, resulting in a much higher FG%. And I believe we make it to the championship game.

What a jerk Crème is, this is his bracketology comment today, doesn’t even put Tennessee in the region The Committee put us in. Makes no allowance for sos obviously, discounting that 2 of our recent losses were to teams in the top ten, then talks, of course, about UConn. Nice that The Committee saw through the easy schedule of North Carolina, which “The Net” did not.

“The NCAA selection committee's final top-16 reveal on Monday provided more surprises than either of the first two. The most notable? Indiana and Tennessee, which have combined to lose seven of their past nine games, remained on the list. Oregon, Notre Dame and North Carolina didn't make the cut, despite having better records in all the distinctive win categories (record vs. NET top 25, top 50, top 100) than the Hoosiers. Iowa moved into the top 16, which now includes four teams from the Big Ten and four from the Big 12. That makes bracketing a challenge and is the main reason UConn was once again placed outside the geographically friendly Bridgeport Regional. The Huskies' best chance to be placed there is to improve their seed. UConn was No. 9 overall on the committee's list Monday after being No. 11 in the reveal two weeks ago. With Paige Bueckers back, the Huskies are big favorites in the Big East tournament. Don't be surprised if UConn is a No. 2 seed and in the Bridgeport Regional after Championship Week.”

Totally false statement about the wins because the NCAA committee goes by Q 1 and 2 wins with Q 3 and four losses your biggest detriment. They also still use Net, RPI, and Sos.

When you look at all these teams then you will see who has the best resumes and who has went out and played the toughest schedule. I posted yesterday about couldn't believe Notre Dame, North Carolina, Oregon, or Iowa were ahead of us because if you look at their overall season of work our resume is much better than any of those teams.

Q 1 and 2 wins Tennessee 17 and 7, Notre Dame 13 and 7, Iowa 13 and 7, Indiana 10 and 7, Maryland 12 and 7, Oregon 13 and 9 , North Carolina 12 and 5 Tennessee has the best of all these teams in Q 1 and 2 wins. Next Net Tennessee 16, Notre Dame 21, Iowa 18, Indiana 19, Maryland 13, and Oregon 12, North Carolina 6 RPI Tennessee 7, Notre Dame 18, Iowa 25, Indiana 13, Maryland 10, Oregon 26, North Carolina 17 Then SOS Tennessee 5, Notre Dame 35, Iowa 29, Maryland 9, and Oregon 7. North Carolina 59

Tennessee is 13th because of their Q1and 2 record and their biggest boost is their sos of 5. I was relieved to see that the committee was using this because why go out and play Stanford and UConn while NC was playing fairfield and Greensboro because if they had played those game they wouldn't have five losses they would have 7. North Carolina's 59 strength of schedule is weighing on them and to late to anything about it now. The SEC is also rated the number one conference in the country both in NET and RPI.
I think we need one SEC tourney win to stay exactly where we are. Two might get us a three seed. If we lose the first game we might still make the sixteen but a lot of these teams will need to lost as well.

Then after the seeding come out on the selection day he shakes his head and says, "I can't believe it." Every year the same thing. He likes to be controversial with the Lady Vols, because it gets people talking and more people will read his stuff. Pay him no mind. He doesn't doesn't have a clue and this year with so much parity, his head must be exploding lol..........

Yes for sure. I never pay him any mind. I don’t watch him or read his drivel. He’s not very well versed on the teams IMO. When I used to watch I often found I was more familiar with the teams outside the top 10 than he was. I watch a ton of games throughout the season. From what I gather he mostly watches UCONN and a few other teams with star players. That’s about the extent of his in depth knowledge. Otherwise it is cookie cutter analysis based off their win/loss record and conference.

Y'all. Seriously.

With Powell, Pissott and Darby coming in; with Walker and her vast experience and toughness staying; with Marta likely to come back even MORE bad-@zz than ever;
with Horston and Key ready to make the most of their senior years; with Saunders and Jessie sure to work their tails off to be ready to contribute when their numbers are called; with Darby likely to have taken her dad's advice and be an even deadlier shot; with our outstanding freshmen this year in Puckett, Miles, Wynn and Striplin almost certain to come back hungry to make their marks on their program with big leaps in confidence going into their sophomore campaigns ...

Ooooooo- WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Seriously. It's fun to think how good the group above can be. And JCOAR, if Rickea Jackson were also to join up, it'll be insane.

Good times are coming. 🧡

Uconn is headed to Bridgeport as a 2 seed. I would put their odds of winning that regional very high btw.

Women's Bracketology: All eyes on bubble as Florida State moves into field

The strange and weird Charlie Creme bracket has moved us up to a three seed today. That is sort of a surprise since he had us at a five seed and we haven't played a game since. The committee told him we were the number one four seed so were in really great shape of playing at home if we win tonight and if we were to win the SEC tourney somehow someway all the way to a two.

Yeah he made us a 3 because Arizona lost otherwise we would be a 4 in his bracket. He really doesn’t know more than the involved fan when it comes to that. He uses the committee reveals to make his look better after they release it every time 🙄
