Ouch!!

Creme is wrong more often than he is right. Yesterday we were in Michigan and today it is Maryland. We will know for sure Monday night.

Charlie Creme drives me insane!!! i seriously hope he is wrong. i think a #8 seed is too low. i am hoping for a #6 seed. last time i checked our RPI was 17th and SOS was 6th....playing in a conference with 8 teams ranked in the top 50 in RPI.
 
I agree. We've lost too many games at the end of the season to expect a higher seed. And being in an 8/9 match-up would be a tough row to hoe.
 
a men's team with Texas' resume would probably be out of the tournament, or looking at a 10-12 seed. Longhorns have really struggled down the stretch losing six of their last 8 and just .500 in conference.

hopefully they can avoid a #1 in the first weekend and make the sweet 16
 
First off, Charlie Creme is a tool. Second, if Tennesse is a #5 seed then we should be around a #5 or #6. They have a similar record to us & key losses too. The other thing I would really like to know is does he still think ou is a #1 seed & A&M a #3?
 
I too liked Brenda's prediction at halftime! However, I really don't see the committee giving Baylor a #1 seed w/out Wilson. I didn't watch the whole game-did they comment about her availability?
 
The reality is that while we may have a top-tier SOS, we simply have not played well for 40 full minutes in almost every one of those games. Playing well for a 10-minute burst simply does not warrant a high seed.

And...considering the problems we have had down the stretch (including the game against Missouri), I'm almost wishing we would drop to a 10 instead of the 8/9 seed- at least then we don't draw a #1 in round two like last year.

The key to getting ANYWHERE is going to be for Gail to find five girls who can play TOGETHER and put 200 solid minutes on the scoresheet each game. We just have not seen that in any game of recent memory.

And yes, I say that despite being one of the handful that took the trip to OKC...
 
I would think they look at the body of work, that is wins and losses, rather whether they played well in an entire game.

If anything negatively impacts the seeding, it would be the losses at the end of the season. But even there, the losses were to teams that will end up seeded higher than Texas. I would think that they have as good a chance as anyone else in that group to be in the 5-7 group. While the team has been inconsistent, they have won more often than not. I would think the committee would be looking at the end results.

We will find out tomorrow for sure.

Baylor and A&M have tourney watch parties scheduled with fans invited.

Will the Hornfans ever get so lucky?? Maybe in a couple of years when we're waiting on a 2 seed location!!!!

We have a similar record to Tennessee but where do we stand on strength of schedule? Doesn't Tennessee have the number 1 ranked strength of schedule?
 
OU is #1 in SOS. Tenn is 2nd. UT is 8th.
In RPI, Tenn is 9th, and UT is 18th.
Records: Tenn 22-10 and UT is 21-11.
not to mention that UT has a win in the head to head meeting.

We should be seeded very close to each other.
 
Body of work unfortunately also carries with it the intangibles. The men's bracket showed that record is not the only factor and that late-season swoons can create problems even if they are injury-related. Granted, we are not a bubble team, but it is NOT an impressive 21 win season. Factor in a late-season lackluster body of work (the "what have you done for me lately" factor) and that Texas struggled against the upper-echelon programs and anything above an 8 becomes a gift...and an ugly one at that if we get the 8 seed and advance to the second round.

It would be nice if we remain closer to home, although based on OKC (and even Dallas in previous Big-12 tournaments), I question how much of a difference the placement would make on the turnout of a fanbase. I doubt many can deny that support displayed by a fanbase is one of the intangibles considered in placements (which thereby also impacts the seeding).
 
Unfortunately for us, the committee takes a VERY close look at how a team finishes the year. A 2-6 record to finish the year is probably what is going to determine our seeding. But other than the loss to OK State, each loss was to a ranked opponent.
