It seems that the USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb is not delighted to see Uconn on the other side of his team support.
The Trojan horses obtained a seeded n ° 1 in the NCAA female tournament trail which was revealed on Sunday. But for Gottlieb, this placement as the fourth seeded n ° 1 of the tournament was disrespectful. She made her feelings known with journalists shortly after the revelation of the support.
Lindsay Gottlieb was not satisfied with the USC being the 4th seeder n ° 1.
“I never thought I would be a seeded and I would feel disrespectful,” said Gottlieb.

“I never thought I would be a seed and I would feel disrespectful,” said Gottlieb. “But I thought that there would be very little chance that we are n ° 4 n ° 1 n ° 1.
“We have a big match here on Saturday against the UNCG. We will manage it accordingly. But you tell me if you think that this support we got should have been the one.”

Has the USC really been snubbed as a seed n ° 1?
The other heads n ° 1 include the best heads and UCC UCLA which lost two regular season games against Trojan horses before beating them during the Big Ten championship match. South Carolina and Texas are the other seeds n ° 1.
The last AP survey was classified by the USC as team n ° 4 of the nation behind the UCLA, the South Carolina and the UCONN, proportionate to its placement as the fourth seeded n ° 1 of the tournament.
Advanced analytics Net classification Have the placement of the USC as a n ° 1 seed of all kinds as generous. According to the net ranking, the USC is the sixth best team in the country behind Uconn, South Carolina, Texas, Ucla and Notre Dame.
Is it really about Uconn?
The real problem here seems to be that UCONN is an undersea – and, for Gottlieb, that it is the seeded n ° 2 in the support of the USC.
Almost all metrics, but the selection committee thinks that Uconn is worthy of a seed n ° 1.. The betting market agrees. Uconn (+275) opened its doors on Sunday evening with the ratings of the second largest to win the NCAA championship, just a welding behind the favorite South Carolina (+270). The Huskies of Geno Auriemma are once again a force with which it is necessary to count.
Gottlieb may not be excited by a potential match with Uconn before the Final Four. But fans anticipating a renowned juju watkins confrontation against Paige Bueckers are in potential treat.
