He's got XU as a 5. Playing in Chatanooga.
But would get a second rounder with #4 Tennessee!
That's just plain cruel, but it's been done before!!

Might actually be some good karma there. And, if there is ever a year to have to face Tennessee, this may be it.

Personally, I'd like to see them in either Chattanooga or Duluth, GA. I'd go to either of those venues... Although Tennessee is always a tough team when it gets to tourney time.

The women upset Tennessee to make the Sweet 16 once before (2001 or 2002 I think).

I remember it too well. It was the 00-01 season and they played in Birmingham. I had tickets for the game, but my son broke his leg two days before and we were unable to go.

My wife's family are big UT fans and I got to give them grief for quite a while. I think the Musketeers can take the Vols, but with Pat Summitt, they're always a dangerous team.

If Kentucky can beat the Vols this year, they're going to be as beatable as they've ever been.

I really like this bracket playing in Georgia and I like the matchup with Texas... I think that really favors us, BUT UCONN in the sweet 16.... If that happens it just plain sucks!

I'll take the Chattanooga bracket and stay out of UConn's way until it's absolutely necessary. Don't forget that Columbus, Ohio and Bowling Green, Ky. (big WNIT win there in 2005-06) also are regionally attractive options. I think the first round match-ups may be tricker than the second because all those second round teams are on TV so much, our coaches will probably have a better idea of what they're doing.

Not to rain on the parade, but Temple is going to be tough Wednesday night and there is still some conference business to close out next week. Finish up strong ladies and the rest will take care of itself!

No go beat TEMPLE!

That was actually in the Sweet 16. Xavier was a #4 seed and Tennessee a #1. Xavier lost to Purdue in the Elite 8.
