One thing to consider regarding seeding - with 5 strong P12 teams that could be in the top 16, the NCAA Committee will have to spread them across regionals. 2 or 3 of those teams will be sent to the Portland brackets and 2 or 3 will be sent to the Albany brackets. Maybe teams with better records/rankings will have a better chance to stay out West.

With the strength of the PAC-12, I'm not sure staying out West in regionals is the best path to the Final Four.  Only one team will survive since there is only one regional "out West".

------------

Tara seemed to enjoy the spotlight Sunday.  But I'd bet she's glad that is finally behind her and she can now get back to basketball.

There will be two regionals played in Portland (Portland 3 and Portland 4) and two regionals played in Albany (Albany 1 and Albany 2) this year. On the whole, I would rather that Stanford play out west rather than travel 3 time zones away.
