Iowa women

Let go of ranking, it has NOTHING to do with as far as seeding, hosting, etc. Gonzaga bid on hosting a sub regional and was awarded the honor of hosting, plain and simple, fair and square. As I stated earlier:

"People can gripe and complain all they want about it, but until the attendance on the women's side increases enough to merit going back to an eight team POD, you are going to continue to have the sub-regionals being played on one team's home floor so the NCAA can put fannies in the seats."

So what if ranking has nothing to do with their seeding? Playing the game on the home court of the lower seed wipes out the advantage of being the better seed. They could just as well flip the seeds around.

How do you think UCLA feels, or Texas A&M, Notre Dame? Notre Dame is a 2 seed and playing on Utah's home floor in the first round.

Not "what if" the ranking has nothing to do with their seeding - the ranking has NOTHING to do with seeding, period.

Flipping the seeds is an injustice to Iowa, we are not an 11 seed, so why should be be punished? As I said before, Spokane/Gonzaga placed a bid and won a bid, thus getting to host. If you can't see an advantage by looking at the schedules of Iowa and Gonzaga, then I don't know what to tell you. Put Iowa in the WCC, and we would be undefeated in the WCC, but there is no way Gonzaga would come close to being undefeated in the B10.

As I've said several times before, until the women's tourney puts enough fannies in the seats at a neutral site like the men's tourney for the first and second rounds, they will continue to play on campus sites.

I didn't mean "IF the ranking had nothing to do with it". I meant "So what?"

And as a point of reference, Gonzaga went undefeated in the WCC too. They've lost 4 games by a combined 22 points, two of those losses coming against Stanford and Notre Dame (both in the top 10). I don't think that we'd have done much better with their schedule than they did.

Good luck to the Lady Hawks, unfortunately the seeding sucks but I think they will fight through it.
