Cards a #2 seed in NCAA WBB Tournament?

[Sonja]

Will Louisville get a #2 seed in the NCAA WBB Selection Monday reveal tonight?

I remain optimistic that they will. Your thoughts? Personally, I'd love to see us in UConn's bracket. We have the talent to take the Huskies down.

Selection show tonight at 7 p.m. on ESPN

After yesterday I almost expect a 4 seed. 😡

No doubt in my mind the girls should get a #2 seed. Things have been kind of screwy this year. UofL is definitely in the "top level" of girls basketball but I'm not sure that this 4 Guard line up will consistently work in the top level of the game. Women's basketball has improved dramatically over the past 6, 7, 8 years and most of that improvement has been with the Bigs. We need more size and strength up front and PLAY TO that size and strength. JMO

After yesterday I refuse to make any predictions whatsoever!

GO CARDS!!!

I am not really worried about the seed especially since there is no home court advantage. I hope we are in the UConn region because I think we matchup well against them. The team to me that looks like a tough matchup is Maryland. We have a history with Maryland because of the 2 head coaches. Because of politics don’t be surprised if they match us up.

Agreed about UConn. Their name and beating cruddy competition is carrying them. I think the team struggled a bit down the stretch at times and they still came out on top (usually). The positives are HVL and Olivia, after some struggles, appear to regained some early season swagger. Dana - she is too good of a shooter to be ‘off’ for long. I suspect she’ll find her shot for the tourney. I also believe we have enough size. Olivia, Liz and Ramani each have height and bring their own set of intangibles. The supporting cast must play to their strengths and if they do...look out.

It is understandable why so many question our 4 guard lineup, particularly with the recent loss to NCST that builds their game around 6' 5" Cunane. Actually, Parker (6' 4"), Dixon (6' 5" and Cochran (6' 3") alternate inside and collectively did a reasonably good job on defending Cunane and keeping the rebounding deficit to a minimum. In truth, the size disadvantage was not the reason we lost, it was Dana's uncharacteristically poor perimeter shooting that explains the loss.

A #2 seed is a reasonable expectation; but if Dana cannot regain her outside shooting touch, it will be a disappointing tournament. This roster is deep in terms of both talent and size, but it centers so much around Dana, and she cannot continue to struggle offensively if we have any chance of advancing regardless of seeding.

Damn I was wanting to be in with UConn instead we are in with Stanford. I think we can beat Stanford I just really wanted to play UConn. I have seen Stanford play twice and they are a good team but they are really thin physically.

Well well the ACC got the respect they deserve. NCST deserved a one seed and I’m fine with a two seed. Had we won the ACC tournament we may have been a one seed.
Hopefully the break has given the Cards a chance to get some rest and get their heads on straight.
Now will have to go through some good teams to get to the promise land. And we have a chance to play what seems to be a perennial road block in Stanford. Oh joy get to see the tree mascot again. And speaking of trees there players have lots of height. And UGA, which could be a tough task. Going to be fun if we can play Cards BB.

Muffet stated on All ACC Access tonight that she really likes our path to the final 4.

Stanford doesn’t have any more height than we have. Their center Brink is 6’4” but she looks like she weighs 100 pounds. To me their best player is a freshmen Fran Belibi she is impressive and she can dunk the ball. I haven’t seen all the teams in the tournament play but I have seen quite a few.

The most dangerous team to
Play is not in our region and that is Maryland. They are physical, fast and they have a good inside game and a good outside game. If we make to the FF and meet them we better be on our game.

If we play our game I like our chances in the tournament. This will be one of the best women’s tournament I can remember. They were saying the top 8 teams are good enough to win the whole thing there is no one dominant team.

Good. Stanford looks tall but it must be she’s so skinny. We’ve played Stanford enough that Walz has the combination to beating them. Looking forward to Monday! I feel like we’re going to come out rejuvenated and ready to go. If not I’ll be very disappointed. Go Cards!

this right here.... Dana’s shooting woes doomed us in the Championship game. Our whole offense is centered around her.

Flav - don’t agree. All of our shooting was off during the tournament and Dana did not need to score 29 for us to win, merely half of her average and she needed to score earlier in the game to help her psyche.
