I am surprised, but Utah also losing certainly helped us.  Charlie Creme has often been too pro-Stanford in the past, so I will believe this when I see it.  It would help if as many projected 2 seeds lose as possible.

Other than Utah, all three projected 2s play today.

Iowa plays Maryland today, I think we hope for Maryland to beat down Iowa.  If Iowa wins, their resume for a 1 seed goes up.

Similarly, hope for Tennessee to beat LSU today, to keep LSU from threatening to move up.

Hopefully Duke beats Virginia Tech.

I imagine Iowa has the best shot at grabbing the 1 seed from us--or maybe LSU.  In any case, we should know a lot more after today.

Not that my heart is in watching other games and cheering for the right losses.  None of it matters if we do not get our own house in order.  But maybe our team can get a bit of a confidence booster if they don't get knocked down too far.

Virginia Tech beats Duke, so there is a threat to our one seed.

Iowas beats Maryland, so they are also a threat to take a one seed.

LSU is off to a hot start against Tennessee.  They are a threat to take a one seed.

I don't have faith we can hang on for a 1 seed.

In the vein of "misery love company" we can point to Ohio State beating 2 Indiana today.  For that matter, unranked Louisville crushed 10 Notre Dame 64-38.  Ugh.

I think rising levels of talent in WBB overall, plus transfers, are creating more parity and more unpredictable results than in the past.  A great many highly ranked teams have lost and will lose shortly.
