Women’s Selection Sunday thread (Iowa Earns 1-Seed in Albany Region)
- Thread starter BigAssTurkeyLeg
- Start date
Here was the latest ESPN Bracketology.
See below. Does the ESPN bracketologist (Charlie Creme) have the top 16 teams in the right spots?
Will Iowa avoid LSU & UConn in their regional?
I am thankful that Ohio State took our place in the Albany 1 regional (we were stuck there on Feb 29 and obviously worked our way out).
Iowa is in great shape, imo, if this is how the top 16 ends up; if both teams keep winning, Iowa would not face #1 overall seed South Carolina until the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Just don't tell @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset

Albany 1
1. South Carolina
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon State

The Full 68 team Bracket as of Now:
Women's Bracketology: South Carolina, USC, UConn and Notre Dame start as 1-seeds
The 2025 bracket will look different with the Pac-12 mostly gone and the ACC (18 teams), Big Ten (18), Big 12 (18) and SEC (16) bigger than ever.

If this were the men's committee, we'll be the 2 seed with South Carolina, because conference tournaments don't matter...............
Wow, already some interesting tidbits.
Indiana a 4 seed in South Carolina's region, and Big 12 regular season champions Oklahoma is a 5 seed.

Honestly I think the Big Ten screws themselves over by being the last mens game played. I completely think Iowa beating Purdue two years ago did NOTHING to help Iowa. I think it was seeded assuming Iowa lost, and it was too close to announcement time to make any adjustments they didn't NEED to make. So they just called it close enough and rolled with it.
Iowa is going to get LSU at the two aren’t we?!?
Weird that Nebby plays aTm in the first round of both tournaments. That can't have happened very often.
Kansas State? Seriously??
Seems like the committee doesn't want Iowa to advance. No reason to pair us with a team that beat us
Play KState for the 3rd time, possibly. What a joke.
That bracket is bullshit. Iowa and LSU should not be in the same bracket but they put KSU and UCLA in the same one too? FFS
Good chance the Iowa region will be discussed as the absolute toughest one.
uhhh holy **** that is a rough region
Iowa has to beat K-State in the Sweet 16
and then the LSU/UCLA winner in the Elite 8
yikes....
and then the LSU/UCLA winner in the Elite 8
yikes....
They have to beat UCLA 1st.
I’d take playing LSU/UCLA in the elite eight over playing Texas or UConn or Stanford at the two seed. And we weren’t going to get Ohio State. 🤷♂️

No use in whining about it. Got to play and win the games now. We did it last year.
LSU will have to go through UCLA first.
So ya KSU/Colorado in the sweet 16, then LSU/UCLA in the elite 8
So I guess that means UConn and South Carolina can book their trips to the final four? Who's left? Ohio State?
That regional was put together to create as much drama as possible. Outside of the Iowa vs KState and LSU and Colorado rematches, there is also a second round match up of LSU vs Louisville (Van Lith’s old school). Throw in UCLA as the 2 seed and it’s just a mess of a bracket.
Did they let Dawn Staley make these brackets?
So shouldn’t we be glad we avoided the team that has good odds to win the tourney as a two or three seed in UConn?

Iowa gets the number 2 overall seed and that's what they get for it.
