ESPN mistakenly reveals WBB brackets?

[C/Seahawk]

sounds like someone messed up.

Iowa a 2 seed playing Mercer and will face the winner of Mizzou/Drake in Rd 2.

ISU a 3 seed facing New Mexico St.

Someone is fired

 

[athrilla20]

Looks like #2 Iowa gets a potential Sweet 16 matchup with #3 seed NC State.... in Greensboro

Also, Baylor is the #1 seed in that region

 

[StormHawk42]

Iowa vs Drake potentially in second round. The women’s tourney definitely tries to put butts in the seats where they can.

Now they are 'officially' releasing the brackets in 5 minutes instead of at 6:00, blowing up everybody's watch parties.

 

[IaHawks03]

Espn2 will be airing the brackets at 4pm now

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

UConn a 2 seed. Times a changin'?............

When does ESPN leak that Meghan wins all the individual awards this year too? Cause she should win!

yeah; the reveal was not supposed to happen until 6 pm CT on ESPN, correct?

 

[Franisdaman]

Espn2 will be airing the brackets at 4pm now

WTF?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

About as expected. 2 seed in Baylor's region. Poopsicles.

Drake got in as an at-large, but that'll be a tough game with Missouri.

Iowa can get through soon long as our guards can continue to shoot well, and not let their opponents go off.

3 NC State and 6 Kentucky are the higher seeds on the bottom half we could run into in the Sweet 16.

One o'clock on Friday? I was hoping for Saturday and then Monday night. Sigh...

 

[Franisdaman]

This was the tweet where they moved up the Selection Show by 2 hours.

ooops....

 

[DaCDiggity]

Are tickets already sold out or do we get them like usual?

 

[UpstreamHawkeye]

I doubt it will be sold out. But the second round game on Sunday will likely push for over 10K people.

 

[DaCDiggity]

I doubt it will be sold out. But the second round game on Sunday will likely push for over 10K people.

I guess I meant do we just get them at the box office like usual?

 

[Franisdaman]

I doubt it will be sold out. But the second round game on Sunday will likely push for over 10K people.

especially if its Drake vs Iowa

 

[Hawksfor3]

sounds like someone messed up.

Who would do such a thing?

 

[Franisdaman]

Fans still showed up for the celebration.

[KuwaitHawk]

UConn a #2? Gino must be really P.O.ed

did they say anything about the reveal that occurred at 4 pm? LOL

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

UConn a #2? Gino must be really P.O.ed

Honestly, those two could be flip-flopped based on what they had been projecting for a while now.

Surprising that Louisville got the 1 over UConn, but it was expected that they would be the top 2 seeds together.

UConn probably would've preferred a road where their toughest challenges are the winner of Gonzaga/Oregon State, as opposed to possibly Rutgers and then Maryland, but UConn will still probably roll because it's UConn......

Did I miss something or did they go through Iowa's end of the bracket with nary a syllable spent on Iowa? Like, not even a mention of Megan?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I doubt it will be sold out. But the second round game on Sunday will likely push for over 10K people.

What if it’s Mercer vs Missouri?

 

[Rudolph]

I doubt it will be sold out. But the second round game on Sunday will likely push for over 10K people.

Senior Day was well over 10K, I want to say 13K. With a B1G tournament title, with Drake in the sub-bracket, I bet first round is ≈ 12 to 13K. Drake vs Iowa might sell out.

I hope it's full. I'll be there. Can't wait.

 

[Hawksfor3]

FWIW I have Youtube TV and there is a replay of the selection show on ESPNU in 10 minutes.

 

[Ronman]

What a major f*ckup by the NCAA. They've scheduled the women's game overlapping the men's game Friday. Gee, that won't affect attendance, will it?

 

[Kurt Warner]

Too bad they may play drake

 

[IamHawkeye]

It was a pretty poor show, anyway. Who wants to hear long interviews with Auriemma, not me, or others.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

What if it’s Mercer vs Missouri?

People will boycott the tournament.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

They don't care.

 

[hawkfan55]

A 1:00 game won’t get as many fans as an evening game. And the overlap with the men’s game is not ideal.

 

[dmoore27]

Obviously a terrible time slot, how would you overlap the women’s game with the men’s game? The disrespect of it all. Jeesh

Going to say the crowd will average 75 years old
