We are the #2 overall seed but get one of the toughest regions, with Baylor as our #2 and Louisville as our #3 (AZ would have been our #2 but was bumped into UCONN's region to avoid an intraleague 1-2 match up.)
On the other hand, it sort of seems like there are about 8-10 teams that could be #1 seeds this season, so every region is pretty tough.
Edit: TheFarm07, didn’t see your post on this in the other thread before I posted. Sorry for the duplicate!
No worries, I didn't know where to put my post.
I agree that there is no dominant team this season and parity among the contenders. Every top team has their strengths -- and weaknesses. Even mighty UConn does not look unstoppable.
If we play well, we have good of a shot as any, but we'll have to cut down on the unforced errors. The depth may mean that we won't have to play a perfect game and have all the stars to align to beat a juggernaut, but earlier rounds are not as easy and more teams can take us down if we are not playing well.
I would say we can play the first couple rounds and win without having our A game, but starting in the Sweet 16, our margin of error would drop significantly
