What is great is that Michigan was already a weak #2-seed and this was a loss to an unranked team in merely the Quarterfinals, not even a Semis loss, but 1st round for a team with the Bye. This should cost them their #2-seed and push them to a #3-seed. Plus, LSU another #2-seed by NCAAW 3rd Reveal also lost in the Quarterfinals, so as a mid-#2-seed they are either the last #2-seed or 1st #3-seed. Hence, if UConn runs the BE Tournament and no close games, they are the 2nd or 3rd #2-seed at the least. If BU would lose in the Quarterfinals or Semifinals, they could lose their lead #2-seed.

The other two 2 seeds will have at least one more . They both have a game left . But between ISU and Baylor if they meet in the championship game one has to lose.the Sooners or Texas may play into this also. |

If UConn wins Sunday and Monday by comfortable margins, they're a #2-seed in CT as of now it appears. |

But a loss in the Finals of any Tournament to a Top 10 team or better is not going to penalize a #2-seed. You need #2-seeds to lose in the Quarterfinals preferably, as well as preferably to an unranked team. If they lose in the Semis to a comparable team, unless a blowout, that might cause a big shift. Additionally, the BE is expected to be UConn's so just winning won't help. UConn has to hammer DePaul and Villanova -- if the two #2-seeds in front of them, Michigan and LSU, had not already lost in the Quarterfinals to unranked teams.
If UConn wins Sunday and Monday by comfortable margins, they're a #2-seed in CT as of now it appears. Well to be honest I think ISU will lose before the finals of the big 12 tournament I agree, ISU is not going o get to the Big XII Finals. They even have a last reg season game left that they could potentially lose. |
