Womens B-Ball: Hartford Scenarios

[Doc]

Currently, we sit in ninth place with one game remaining.  Here is what I think can still happen:

8-seed: USF win over Seton Hall AND Pittsburgh win at 3-12 Georgetown.

10-seed: USF loss to Seton Hall AND DePaul win vs 10-5 Notre Dame.

9-seed: Anything else (USF win/PITT loss; USF loss/DEP loss).

Now for our first-round opponent:

As an 8-seed, it would go 8-USF, 9-SHU, 10-DEP.  We'd play Seton Hall again.

As a 9-seed, it would go 7-SHU, 8-PITT, 9-USF, 10-DEP.  We'd play PITT.

As a 10-seed, it would go 5-ND, 6-UL/WVU loser, 7-SHU, 8-PITT, 9-DEP, 10-USF.  We'd get Seton Hall.

For the second round, UConn is locked into #1 (playing 8-9 winner) and Rutgers is locked into #2 (playing 7-10 winner).  I agree that it will likely take a win over SHU, a first-round tourney win (SHU or PITT), and a second-round win over UConn or RU to get us safely off the bubble.  No question that it's going to be a tough road.

I dont want to play Pitt even more than UCONN or RU.
