In today's update:
Iowa, Iowa State, Virginia Tech & Washington (in that order) are the last 4 teams in.
The winner of #11 Iowa/#11 Iowa State would play #6 Ole Miss. #3 Duke (the host) likely would be the opponent for a bid to the Sweet 16 in Spokane.

Women's Bracketology: USC upset UCLA but the 1-seeds didn't change -- here's why
Six teams remain in the hunt for a No. 1 seed. UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Texas are on the top line, with USC and LSU not far behind.www.espn.com
I didn’t notice that, Could be mistakeNoticed that they have Iowa listed in the last 4 byes and Iowas St not listed as last 4 byes or last 4 in.. yet Iowa is a 9 and Iowa St a 10.. maybe Iowa st was meant to be last 4 byes and we are clear of that level?
It’s crazy. Right now they are an 11 seed in the Big 10 tourney and would play in the opening round.,Iowa is #29 in the NET, on the verge of a 7 seed.

I'd rather be a 12 seed. I feel there isn't as big a difference playing a 5 vs playing an 8 or 9. Then you play a 4 seed to make it to the sweet 16. Better than having to play a 1.
ThisOh, yeah. Lower seeds only seldom establish legendary status. And memories are short.
Better to have highest possible seed. Tourneys are funky...almost like early season games. Anything can happen.
True. But I just feel like the top 6-8 teams in WBB are so dominant. I think Iowa can handle just about any team out side the top 4 or 5 this year. Big difference between a 1-2 loss team vs a team that has lost 5-6 games. I am just talking about making it to the sweet 16 this year.This
Historically there are a lot less upsets in the women’s game too
A trip to the sweet 16 would be a Damn Fine job, by Jan this season given everything the last year, their personel losses, and the new and improved conference adding two legit final four teams to conference play.....True.

I completely agree. This team is good enough to win round 1, but could they win round 2? I'd say yes if they're playing a 4 seed vs a 1 seed.A trip to the sweet 16 would be a Damn Fine job, by Jan this season given everything the last year, their personel losses, and the new and improved conference adding two legit final four teams to conference play.....
