Four B1G Ones Coming - Tournament Seeds Final Run - Gophers Defense and Offense System Explained Too

[thatjanelpick]

You're right. And, if my memory is correct, K State was the top seed in that regional. Also, I recall that the NCAA tried neutral sites for the first round of the NCAA tourney before they opted to use top 16 seeds as sites. With the explosion of women's basketball popularity, maybe we see them go back to neutral sites in the future. I'm okay with the current system...at least for now.

To be fair, pretty much everyone agreed that the Gophers were not really a 7 seed. The seed was based on all of the losses the Gophers racked up while Whalen was hurt and uncertainty about whether she'd even be able to return at full strength -- which, we found out in that UCLA game, she really did.
