@dontstandme1 @SportsCuz310 If we lose to Ohio St and UCLA, I think we need to beat Penn St to guarantee it, as a Q3 loss this late in the season would be brutal If the current B1G standings mirror the B1G Tourney standings, we might also need to win our first game (2nd round game) with a 1st round upset

@SportsCuz310 If we lose all 3 games let’s just say or if we only beat pen state and lose to FUCLA and Ohio do we still make the tournament?

Potential updated NCAAW tourney bracket if the season ended today for USC. It’s still early and a lot can still change, but I like the ideas on what could happen. I like this matchup 👀😏

@JulieMi17300708 @SportsCuz310 I still don’t how we’re not @ least a 6-seed though: NET - 21 Torvik - 16 Wins Above Bubble - 22 ELO Rankings - 22 NET SOS - 3

@SportsCuz310 Ok much better. I like this too.

@bettsglazer @ejack1676 @bettsnation @mythoughts0530 4 likes and 4 comments on a tweet like this on an account with 61 followers doesn’t scream insider

@ejack1676 @bettsnation @mythoughts0530 😭😂✌️

This is tampering…..

@WestCoastBraves @georgewrighster And this was after ND rushed to schedule Wisconsin and Rice so that their September was conveniently filled up and they could make SC look like the bad guy for trying to push a Week 0 game

@georgewrighster They actually told ND week 0-4, that’s a 5 week option. You keep posting & making yourself look like a bigger fool by the day

USC only has 9 P4 games on their schedule and those are Big Ten conference games. The schedule is tough but some teams in the ACC and B12 are playing 11!!! USC wanted ND off because it was gonna be hard. they knew they would say no to week 0

@CurtisJermaine2 @SportsCuz310 Heckel should’ve stayed for sure

@itiswhatitis517 @SportsCuz310 Nahh you had one more year. Then you can see NYC anytime you want. Bad career move, same with Heckel

Shame what they did to that girls draft stock 😭

@SportsCuz310 @CurtisJermaine2 Hard to blame her for going home to New York (basically) to play for a top program, but she could’ve done some things at SC this year

@CurtisJermaine2 I know right

@SportsCuz310 Wouldn’t we be playing in Austin since Texas as a 2 seed would hosts the first 2 rounds, before eventually going to Sacramento if we beat Texas and make the Sweet 16?

The latest NCAAW bracketology has USC as a 7 seed so far in the same bracket as Vandy & Texas. Playing in Sacramento. I’d love to see that bracket 😭

@TaliaGoodmanWBB I think it threw off the scout her being out, and Indiana was a much more athletic team w/ Kiaku Also, SC is ultimately short, which allowed their 2 6’3” forwards to go 9/14 from 2, and it allowed Makalusky more opportunity to score and show off her range as a true stretch 4

Indiana is legit keeping up with USC tonight on the road. And they’re without Shay Ciezki - one of the nation’s leading scorers.

@SportsCuz310 We’re going to run teams into the ground

How are teams going to guard both of them? Can’t double them both. Kennedy stretch 4, Sitaya Stretch big. Saniyah Hall scoring power. My Lord😮‍💨

@JulieMi17300708 Has to start with beating Northwestern Bracketologists have been giving us the benefit of the doubt w/ all our Ls being Quad 1 imho, but we can’t lose a Quad 3 game to Northwestern, who has been deceptively tough at home Thursday will pla a big role in deciding our tourney fate

What to watch for Can USC build a Big Ten win streak? No team in the country has played a tougher schedule this season than USC, which has faced the No. 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 teams in the NET without JuJu Watkins. Teams aren't penalized much for individual losses against top opponents, but this time last week, USC was just 11-9 on the season despite a NET ranking in the top 25. The Trojans' NCAA Tournament hopes were starting to be questioned following a 1-6 stretch, as teams with records near .500 rarely receive at-large bids. USC responded with a signature win over Iowa before holding Rutgers to just 39 points on Sunday. With a favorable schedule over the next two weeks, USC has a chance to continue solidifying its resume and build toward a No. 5 or 6 seed, closer to expectations earlier in the season. Kara Dunn has been remarkable as of late, with 20 or more points in seven of the team's last eight games.

@Pure_Absolute @2024nattyychamp @AriWasserman This is why SEC folk didn’t want playoff expansion last time and don’t want another round It limits your ability to argue based upon hypotheticals and draft picks Indiana lit up the second best team in the SEC, and had the 72nd best roster That argument doesn’t work anymore

@2024nattyychamp @AriWasserman It absolutely is in this context yes. Bowl games don't matter and half the players sit out

How many more years is it going to take before this isn't a default opinion?

@o_pound @AriWasserman Or maybe UGA just isn’t as good as Ohio State, so their games are closer

@AriWasserman The thing that is different is that Ohio State never comes close to losing to a mid or lower tier b1g squad. The difference between the best and the mid like Minnesota is so extreme. UGa could goto Auburn and actually have a shot at losing.

@bmckone @rkrager8 12-9 is deceptive What people don’t see is SC has played 8 teams currently ranked (inc. all of Top 3), 11 teams in the top 25 of NET and 12 teams in the Top 25 of Torvik, and missed a key piece for 3 of the Ls Every SC L is Quad 1, and they’re still #20 in NET and #16 in Torvik

@rkrager8 If they play like they did last night, absolutely. Hard to keep that up every game.

USC will win out until they play UCLA as their last contest. Their W/L is about to flip with what remains on their schedule.

@Hassel_Chris And that’s before even getting to the fact that SC has played all of the Top 3 AP teams (UConn, UCLA and South Carolina)

@Hassel_Chris People see 12-9 and assume a bad team What they don’t see is SC has played 8 teams currently ranked, 11 teams in the top 25 of NET and 12 teams in the Top 25 of Torvik, and missed a key piece for 3 of the Ls Every SC L is Quad 1, and they’re still #20 in NET and #16 in Torvik

Announcer calling this USC performance vs Iowa a “major upset”. This game was a toss-up in Vegas.

@ethan_petrik A lot of what they said seemed to be from the framework of trying to elevate Iowa They were trying to make a blowout Iowa L look better They also said that Iowa was possibly looking ahead to UCLA, which would be crazy if true since SC is much better than their record indicates

USC is having a nice game tonight, but let's calm down on the Final Four talk for the 11-9, 3-6 Trojans.

@Johnny171414 @ethan_petrik SC is #20 in NET and #16 in Torvik Their record is deceiving because they’ve played a ridiculously hard schedule, and Smith was out for 3 of those losses Unless they suffer a February collapse, they are making the tournament

@ethan_petrik Right?? Worry about making the tournament first. Unless she was talking about the WNIT final four.

@DavidEickholt Every time I watch an Iowa game Jensen is getting worked up about officiating What are you talking about?

Kylie Feuerbach got a second foul for existing. It takes a lot to get Jan Jensen that worked up in the first quarter.

@sportsfan6718 Well you clearly do, as you’re making unsolicited tweets about SC Women’s Basketball

@itiswhatitis517 Y’all got sent home by us the last two years in a row and you think we care about a regular season win 😂😭 that’s kinda cute I can’t lie

Noticing a trend here
