They didn't play UConn close, lost to a sub-50 RPI team at home. This was a team on the bubble 2 weeks ago. I'm thrilled about going to Tally, and I have my room booked.

Purdue/Cal Last 4 in but #9 seeds. Ok, then makes sense in terms of seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all in all not a horrible draw. You need to beat good teams to advance if you are middle of the pack like us. We booked our room while in the Arena Club. Will be there Friday for sure. Not sure if we can make it Sunday but will try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizzou, then FSU, if we want to advance I'll take that any day of the week. And if we win, we get to play in Stockton? I'll have to try and get tickets - it's less than a day's drive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it from Mizzou's standpoint they are probably thinking WTF, we have to play THEM in the first round? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then I hope our girls can shoot lights-out from the perimeter. We haven't matched up well against more physical teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get past Mizzou, they will be a tough out, but they entered the Tournament reeling having lost 4 of their last 5 games. Sweet 16 would be amazing and a massive over-achievement given the loss of 3 starters and injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCONN was very fortunate to come away with a two point victory in Tally. Having said that, FSU often looks beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
