This is what KM said in her postgame press conference. What is there to prevent the NCAA making us a #2 seed in USC’s region?

Would be dumb for NCAA to put LSU and USCe in the same bracket or side of the bracket. If they want to make money, they will put them on different sides and let them duke it out in finals.

LSU is 8th in the NET rankings. Looking at the resumes of the other teams ahead of them you can make a VERY strong argument LSU is the "weakest" #2 seed based upon resume. The selection committee generally tries to "snake" the bracket. That is they try to pair the top overall seed with the weakest #2 seed, best #3 seed, and so on (though there is no hard and fast rule they do) So while I would say it is unlikely LSU gets put in the same bracket. I wouldn't say there is "no chance"

I think the committee would like to see LSU, Iowa and SC in the Final Four for ratings purposes. I think they wind up in 3 sepaeate brackets.

I pray we get them again. No way they beat us after that. And also, Dawn Staley is a racist woman. She did nothing but stand around and watch. I wish nothing but the worst for that team. sad when WBB is the only relevant sport at a major college.

Generally, the NCAA Selection Committee will avoid putting two top 10 ranked teams from the same conference in the same regional. I do not know if that is a written rule or a rule of thumb.

SoCal, Stanford, and UCLA will likely not be in the same regional. Neither will Iowa and Ohio State.

Even in the somen’s tournament it is very rare to see the top 2 seeds in a regional from the same conference. I think there may even be a rule against it.

After Sunday’s game there is no way they would want the rematch to not be in the final four.

I imagine they set it up to have the match up in the final four game with the winner going play Caitlin Clark in the championship.

Lot has to happen for that to actually occur but if it were to play out like the 3 games in Cleveland would be must watch.

It's in the selection rules. No in-conference top 16 (1-4 seeds) teams can be placed in the same region.

That's why people have been saying that all that matters is getting a 4 seed or better.

III. Principles for Placing Teams into the Championship Bracket

Each of the first four teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different regional pods if they are seeded on the first four lines
