So that means home game? I forget how the women's tourneys work.

UConn lucked out.

It looks like the Women will host Ball State on Thursday. If they win they play the winner of St. Louis/Little Rock game. Also in their side of the bracket are Memphis/UT Martin and Dayton /W. Ky. Joining Iowa from the B1G are Rutgers, Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota and Nebraska. Drake and Northern Iowa (vs. Neb.) are also playing. And yes we missed UConn.

They got hosed by the ncaa, there seems to be an anti big 10 bias on both sides this year.

What was most crazy was the at large bid for St. Bonaventure.

RPI
Iowa #42
St. Bonaventure #68

strength of schedule
Iowa #21
St. Bonaventure #103!

Iowa had 15 games vs top 50 vs 2 for StB.

They should not had even been on the list with a schedule like that. They lost 7 games, any team with a schedule like that should not get an at large bid with more than 5 losses.
