When I saw Patty's face last night. I doubt she'd have called it a great weekend, despite winning the conference tournament.
I heard what she said. The look in her eyes was something else. I think she was very unhappy, but it would do no good to say so. So she didn't.

It was during the ESPN live shot of the team when the seeds were announced last night for the tournament . Nothing to do with any of the games.Why the disdain? I didn't get to see any of the games, just saw the scores.

Bull, there is an overriding issue in women's athletics in the political area that impacts this stuff. And I'm not just talking about regional advantages. Leave it at that.
And if Minnesota overcomes and wins the Tuscaloosa regional on the road, their reward will be a trip to number 1 Florida. Not easy on the road. I'm not going to take the time, but I'd love to see a list of games the SEC teams won on the road against top ten teams, and top 20 teams, that weren't other SEC teams. Same thing with games they won outside of their area in true road games.
The SEC won't got to Big Ten quality teams in road games. They'll maybe invite Minnesota to come thei their place, as their officials screw the visitors as they brag about their wins over other top teams. But they won't do it in adverse places. LSU played like their first 20 games at home out of the conference. It's the same crap in football.
You won't find Bama or Auburn going to Columbus Ohio. And you sure won't see them in Big Ten country in November, when the road team might have a disadvantage. They only play to their own advantage, the crow about how tough their league is.
They do have advantages and they are deeper as a league But the formula is wrong to give Georgia a high RPI after they won three conference games, because all those losses were against RPI rich SEC teams. A road win ought to count more than a top ten loss and especially than a loss to a team that is 28th. They have a win win in every game, even if they lose by run rule.
The committee is less responsible than the RPI formula, which is fixed. Maybe you get some credit for a one run road loss against a top 10 team. But losing at home by six against a team in the top 30, meaning 29th, you shouldn't get credit for that.
I agree with you Plaino...her disdain was hard to hide, yet she said all the right words. Pretty classy!
