I assume that’s better than some of the 14s but not sure Usually top 100 teams get some sort of respect, generally. But yeah I think its stems from not winning a championship since 84 and the overall history.. We know committees dont take an objective look year to year. The years usually get compounded (imo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tualum 108 Report post Posted March 20, 2019 Come on now, seeding looks about right for a team who wasn't even expected to make it far in the conference tourney. Not winning the CAA since over 2 decades, quality of conference, and a pretty crappy last couple of years I think we should be joyful for even being in this position. Not complaining about seeding. Having to play UCONN of course was a bummer but stranger things have happened.. Play the game!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RundaPower 153 Report post Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) So history applies to Towson and not Uconn? Name a more successful college program in the past two decades. According to the committee, history doesn’t play into the decision. Edited March 20, 2019 by RundaPower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BK_Brian 31 Report post Posted March 20, 2019 Seeding does kinda stink, but being paired against the most dominant college basketball program over the last 20 years in the first round makes it way worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuTigers2012 1,062 Report post Posted March 20, 2019 Just looking at the schedule, only one team in the field has more losses than Towson (about 5 others with 12 losses), which is another reason for the lower seed. Womens basketball, just no parity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerNation 49 Report post Posted March 20, 2019 The exposure is going to be great though, should help her get even more talent. Program is headed in the right direction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
