A10 Champion Ladies

[SFspidur]

Duke again? Ugh.

 

[Eight Legger]

Awesome draw! Revenge tour. Davidson beat them and I'm sure our ladies feel they should have too. Let's go!

 

[whampas]

Well, it's payback time.

 

[SFspidur]

MD, we’re the 10, not the 7.

 

[72Spider]

Lady Spiders get a 7-seed and will head to Columbus, OH to face 10-seed Duke.

Got the seeding backwards.

 

[MDspider8]

Fixed, apologies.

 

[gcarter52]

Got the seeding backwards.

Right

 

[gcarter52]

We got a respectable seed.

 

[GKiller]

Wtf they allow rematches in 1st round for women? Men won’t do that.

 

[Section 204and5]

So far three teams we beat this year are in - Drake, Maine and Chattanooga.

Right, I thought that was the rule for everyone. Just finished telling my son, "Well this won't be us" when they put Duke up, and then it was. Lol.

Must only be the men. But it’s easily avoidable and good rule imo. Have less respect for ncaa women process after that. I don’t mind a revenge tour but they also crushed us by 30.

Thought a lot of the purpose of the NCAA Tournament was to play teams you had not played before unless advancement in the tourney caused a rematch?

Very odd. Thought so too. Someone will incorrectly say I’m being misogynistic but I do think it’s another reason women sports r not as equal or respected. Play someone new much more exciting. I hate this matchup.

 

[SFspidur]

It’s not a hard and and fast rule, but it is a guideline for both the men’s and women’s selections. Not sure why it wasn’t deemed possible for us.

When was the last time there was a 1st round rematch (men) since it went to 64 teams? Probably never.

 

[Eight Legger]

We were a different team last season, and it was our first game this season. I'd say we are much different now than we were then, too. Duke will be very confident but they haven't seen this version of us.

 

[SFspidur]

If NCAA pays for travel, it is a bus ride rather than air charter.
Just a guess, I do not know the ins and outs of BB, but FCS playoffs often see some funny pairings due to regionalization.
Hoping the more seeds change for FCS eliminates some of this type of stuff.

The game is in Columbus, Ohio...it's beyond the 400-mile ground limit, so the NCAA will charter a flight for us.

 

[Eight Legger]

Both the men and women and could see Ohio State in the second round.

Brain dead post I was thinking home team hosted, like NIT.

Friday. 2:30. ESPN News. Be there.

 

[mr.spider]

1300 mile road trip to Columbus starts tomorrow! Go Spiders!

 

[mr.spider]

Alright. Nothing left to do but continue the journey to Columbus! Topeka to St.Louis today! Let's Go Lady Spiders!

Just got a call from Andre Gustavson about giving early to the WBB program so my donation can be matched. So, I renewed my annual donation. A nice young man, working on his MBA. I think he was happy when I asked him if he was the "Goose."
