I missed it. Where did Notre Dame get placed? Oh, they didn't? What a shame.
Does this make me a bad person?

wow, I didn't realize Stanford played all away games for over 2 months, since they weren't allowed to reenter the campus. Stanford has very deep pockets!

Who is the top #1 seed? Did they say and I missed it? Not that it really matters. Gotta play the teams as they come.

The show is one hour about the tournament field and we get 3 human interest stories? Why? Is the tournament so boring that we need to rehear DiDi Richards months old recovery from injury? Or a feature on Boston?
The show is nothing more than a giant PR show for wcbb. How about telling us who is vulnerable to an unset in round 1? But no, I'd much rather hear about Stanford's Odyssey to Las Vegas than anything pertinent to the tournament.

I think ESPN2 has a more indepth show on both the men's and women's tournaments at 8:00 where they will do some of this analysis. |

Oh, C Viv. That hair. Really? I shouldn't be critical. But, it looks like a wig. Otherwise, she is looking pretty good for her age.

You know...if the tournament was held last year, Notre Dame wouldn't have made it. That would make this, theoretically, two years in a row they didn't make the tournament.
Hey, if Dawn Staley can hang a banner as the top ranked team last year as if it were a national championship banner, then we can count ND not making it to the tourney based on their record last year.
Wondering what Sam Brunnell is thinking now?

As long as I'm ranting, there must have been 15 mins of commercials in the hour.

Get healthy, Geno! And safe travels to the team, all teams, to San Antonio tomorrow. Going to be fun!

Notre Dame is a possible replacement team. In other words, an also ran.

So UConn will play two games without Geno based on the schedule.

It means that UCONN was not no. 1. But they always screw us.

I take it as a good sign that UConn and Tennessee are in the same region and it was NOT a story line.

So UConn will play two games without Geno based on the schedule. Without him on the bench but he will be intimately involved every day, mostly with the other coaches. Nothing will change. I think CD is the one who is the organizer. The pressure will be on Geno to not screw up after the assistants won 2 games.  |

Generally speaking, in an hour long network show if you cut out the commercials the show runs about 42 minutes, give or take one or two either way. But 42 seems to be about average. The streaming services that run network shows without commercials usually says 42 minutes run time. So, I think you estimate is probably too low. |

The pressure will be on Geno to not screw up after the assistants won 2 games. He will probably be CD's ear via ear buds. I was wondering about that, too, Chappy. Previously, he was either mourning or suspended (IIRC). But is there any reason why he can't be talking to CD electronically or even getting zoomed into the locker room at half time? I'm not sure it's a good idea to mess with CD in charge, so he'll probably avoid doing it, especially in non-competitive games. But I imagine it's technically ok, from a rules point of view. |
