2 seed in the Albany Region-Women’s BBall...

[Rod Dangerfield]

Looking at the bracket, I predict we'll advance to the Sweet 16 & either lose to Florida State (they're due) or USF.

 

[mdsalt2004]

Yeah Right, Dream on....... They beat SC once, Payback is a bitch!! So you do you think the ladies are Skeered of UNCONN?? I dont..

Not saying USC is scared. You can be unafraid and still be not as talented. I know Uconn is not "scared" of any team in the country for good reason. They are way more talented than any team in women's college hoops. Not saying we can't pull the upset if we meet them again, but I would say the chances are slim.

i predict another Title.. Back to Back!!

 

[lawcalcock]

We have not proven we are good enough to beat UCONN after several tries. Let’s be real

That's stupid... We just won a natty... 1 game in early Feb means very little.. When A'ja gets several teammates to step up we are good enough to beat anybody.. You are one of those Nellie's that claimed we couldn't win the SEC tourney... When we finally beat UCONN and we will, Nellie's like you can put a sock in it...

 

[lawcalcock]

The only such rules I'm aware of in baseball is that a regional cannot have more than one team per conference. No such restriction applies in the supers to the best of my knowledge.

Well if you're not aware of it, that settles it

Yeah they are so talented, Geno uses a 6 player rotation... They have flaws.. They are beatable... The most impressive thing about them is the coaching.. Their nominal competitive level and their fundamental execution is one of the most impressive things in sports

If you play an aggressive match up zone and hit your 3's you have a chance. One thing you can't do is let them back door you with lay ups. Dawn stubbornly tried to play man up and that was disaster.

 

[SCexpat38]

some on this board have become..woe is me.. its not fair.... it really is amusing and pathetic at the same time

Actually, I thought 'amusing and pathetic at the same time' pretty much summed up all of us, to one extent or the other. I know I find my own participation on this board to sort of fit that description.

We're supposedly grown ups, and here we all are yammering back and forth with keyboards about underpaid college kids and their overpaid minders, Clemson, the NCAA, etc.

 

[Garnet chicken]

Actually Staley herself is not happy either saying we led the nation in attendance and our fans never have a chance to drive to a regional. So the committee neglects more people in the seats for favoritism.

Opinions about the game, even coaching complaints, recruiting,etc. are fine, imo..... but the bitching about someone on a committee or league screwing SC or the referees, bad calls, "SC got screwed," " its not fair", and so on.....the crying and whining by a few is pathetic

in a way, its just frustration due to the success of the team up the road in the upstate

What I don't understand is why there is no regional in the South. The SEC is the best women's basketball conference in the nation and there are several SEC teams in the tournament every year as well as ACC teams, yet all the regionals are up north or out west, unless you consider Lexington, Ky in the south, which I do not. It seems there would be a regional in Atlanta, or Charlotte, or Jacksonville, or some place in the heart of the South.

excellent question.....

 

[rogue cock]

So they consider us the worst two seed? Okay. 26-6 record (with the best player missing a few games this year). WTF is wrong with the committee every f’n year when it comes to us and seeding?

They obviously don't take into account injuries to star players when seeding......unlike football.

 

[JGH 35]

And we also proved the point on the court. We lost twice to UT without A'ja, but beat them easily on a neutral court in the tournament. We also lost to Miss St on their home court and beat them easily on a neutral court in the tournament. It's not like we didn't PROVE it on the court.

 

[USC2USC]

I think much of the complaining is fueled by a feeling that over the last 5 years while SC has been on an historically impressive run, I can't remember our girls getting what I would consider a "good" seed in the tourney.

For example, Tennessee this year being sent to Lexington as a #2 seed is a pretty sweet seeding for them. Can't remember our ladies ever getting anything similar.

I am sure our ladies aren't afraid to play UConn. Still, lots of ball to play before an Elite 8 game.

 

[HI Cock]

Elite 8 is not a bad season. Hopefully we can pull the huge upset or somehow they lose before they get to us.

If they don't win each game by 30 or more it will be a surprise.

 

[lawcalcock]

I hope you right sunshine

The bout before last seasons semifinal loss, UCONN beat Miss St by 60 points... Take that for what its worth

Also note all these years of Tenn mediocrity, not once have they drawn UCONN or Notre Dame in the tournament...

2015 Regional was in Greensboro, and we beat the Tar Holes.
As far as I know, it was the first time a Gamecock basketball team has played in that facility since the men beat the Tar Holes there in the 1971 ACC tournament.

Actually Tenn is a 3 seed but still a favorable draw for them. I agree about the cumulative aspect of our seeding. Only once was it fairly easy for our fans to attend.

That's amazing. With almost half the teams in the tournament from the South, you would think that there would be a regional in the South every year. One in the North, one in the South, One in the Midwest, and one in the West would be reasonable I would think.
