Dad and nephew are there. I'll be watching.
Should secure a #1 seed if we win.
A win over #5 would look mighty fine on our resume. Plus, the tournament title would be nice too :p
Charlie Creme (ESPN bracket guru) suggested if SC didn't win and Oregon state did, that OSU would likely claim the 4th No. 1.
That was before we made the final so it's possible we'd take the spot. He later tweeted we had a shot if we won the tournament. Cheer for Stanford. My supposition is that we're likely bound for Stockton as a 1 or 2 either way if we win, so it's really just a number.
ETA: He just tweeted that OSU is a lock with a win and USC loss.
That #%^**% Tennessee loss is going to haunt me for a long time. Even if we win the SECT and make the final 4, there's going to be a blank spot where SEC Champions should have been. Also Makayla Epps is in my top 10 most hated opposing athletes ever.
Based on resume and what Charlie Creme has said, I see the 1-seeds falling this way:
- Connecticut - 1-seed no matter what
- Notre Dame - 1-seed no matter what
- Oregon State - 1-seed if they win the Pac-12 Tournament today, otherwise definitely not
- South Carolina - definitely a 1-seed if they win today, up in the air if they lose
- Mississippi State - probably a 1-seed if we win today, otherwise definitely not
- Baylor - 1-seed if they win the Big 12 Tournament, otherwise definitely not
We need Oregon State and Baylor to lose, but a win today should make us better than 50-50
My brother and his wife are representing our family.
Honestly- we would be better off being a #2 seed. I think if we win- we end up being the 4th 1-seed and that matches up with UConn in the FF. Better off being one of the top three 2-seedsQuote:

There's no guarantee of either of those things. A win today and there's a decent chance we're the #3 overall seed. A loss could drop us to #8. Also, there don't match up the 5-6-7-8 with the 4-3-2-1 as formally as they do with the top 4 anyway.Quote:
