Bad juju..Then, your the jinx.
They won't get up to a 4 seed. Looks like Stanford, USC, UCLA, Gonzaga, Colorado have a chance to host in the latest ESPN bracket. Plenty of western US places.Here’s to hoping we host a game in the NCAA tournament and that people show up. Fun team to watch.
Unfortunately it will be tough for UNLV to even get up to a 6 seed let alone a 4th seed considering they currently have UNLV as an 8/9 seed. There is a chance that Gonzaga could drop below UNLV due to the loss to Portland, but it would take a lot more teams to drop down for UNLV to move up into the top 16. UNLV really needs Oregon State to be in the same conference. Adding 12/14 ranked Oregon State in with UNLV would be a huge overall boost to the merged conference. It makes you wonder how much the west coast will changed with #3 USC, #4 Stanford, #6 UCLA, #13 Oregon State, and #18 Colorado splitting up in the next couple of years?They won't get up to a 4 seed.

Great run by the Lady Rebs.
USC and UCLA, to the Big Ten, will be a powerhouse.Unfortunately it will be tough for UNLV to even get up to a 6 seed let alone a 4th seed considering they currently have UNLV as an 8/9 seed.

No doubt better seeds would create more favorable matchups for the mid majors. However, the talent disparity between mid majors and the major-conference teams is not even close.When, I was watching on tv, the Finals between Portland/Gonzaga, in Las Vegas.
Charlie Creme, was watching the game live in person. They interviewed him.
And, he said "Las Vegas, is my hometown." So, after hearing about that.
I, thought he would give UNLV a favorable seeding.
He still gave us a 9 seed. And, still has Gonzaga as 4 seed.
To tell you the truth. I want all the mid majors that make the NCAA Tournament. To get a high seed.
Screw these, P5 teams that always rob and get better seeds than the mid majors.
Jasmyn Lott's injury looks like it's her knee.
So, if you are a mid-major.No doubt better seeds would create more favorable matchups for the mid majors. However, the talent disparity between mid majors and the major-conference teams is not even close.
Last year Michigan handled us relatively easily in our 1st rd matchup, and they weren't anything special in the Big 10. Size and talent disparity is tough to overcome.
If we want to win a game this year, shooting is going to have to be top notch. Will need more efficient play from Desi as well. Her stat line was good yesterday, but she will need to improve and be her best if we want to win.
Of course you want the best seed you can get.So, if you are a mid-major.
Would, you rather play a 6 seed P5 team.
Or, would you rather play a 9 seed P5 team.
The higher, the seed the mid major is. The worse, the P5 team will be. That, you play.
Seeding, throughout the basketball season is fluid.Of course you want the best seed you can get.
But when people are discussing that we should be a top-6 seed, host the first round, etc; we're just not there.
I agree on the size. Our 5'7" needs to get a little taller. Next year we get back Kennedy and hopefully Spencer continues to develop. At 5'9" those couple of inches will pay dividends. Talent wise I think we are doing pretty damn good for a mid-major and it did well against OK and AZ. Just need to keep getting more of them.No doubt better seeds would create more favorable matchups for the mid majors.

That, means we are an 8 or a 9 seed.I predict we will be shipped south and face mighty South Carolina
South Carolina will be the top #1 seed. They will get somebody worse than us.I predict we will be shipped south and face mighty South Carolina
Same here. Just want to get over that hump and get Lindy her first NCAA victory. Sure wish we had Kennedy and Lott though.That, means we are an 8 or a 9 seed.
I'll be happy, if we just win the first NCAA Tournament game since 1991!
Damn, that's a long time. We, are due.
Jasmyn Lott, is a more bigger loss than Kennedy.Same here. Just want to get over that hump and get Lindy her first NCAA victory. Sure wish we had Kennedy and Lott though.
Brackets, not out yet.Who are we playing? I don’t have access
I should be at the UNLV watch party..Brackets, not out yet.
In, 10 minutes we will know, who we play and what seed.
On, ESPN
Sorta makes me wonder if UNLV would have lost in the conference tourney championship would they have made the dance?This, tells you what the NCAA committee, thinks about the Mountain West Conference.
