What seed does everybody think the Falcons will receive tonight? Also what region and opponent?

I'm gonna say 11 seed in the Chicago (wishful thinking) region playing Florida State.

Where will the ladies be watching tonight?

What will the BG ladies be ranked going into the tourney:
AP, Coaches Poll??? It could be as high as #20 in the country.....

Ask George Washington (the school, not the dead prez) if ranking means anything when it comes to your seeding in the tourny. :(

The AP and Coaches rankings don't mean anything and the NCAA will tell you that. These rankings are completely meaningless from the first poll in November to the final poll this week. They are just for fans and media to talk about through the season. Of course, the regular season, for the most part, in college basketball is completely meaningless as well, but that is an entirely different discussion.

Does anyone know what those little arrows mean that are next to all the teams on the Bracketology? I'm guessing they're not all that important, but not knowing what they stand for is bugging me.

Whether a team's seed is rising, falling, or steady.

Is there a watch party somewhere on campus tonight? I'm sure the team will be together to watch the seeds unvieled, I was wondering if fans could join them. Anyone have some info?

The team will be in the football stadium press box at one of the conference rooms. I believe only press will be allowed in, mainly because of the room available up there. You can see the teams reaction in tomorrows BG news, ill be shooting it tonight (and hopefully going to Denver or Tucson or Chicago) later this weekend. Go Falcons

If that is the matchup we get, that's great. That game will have nothing but BG fans packing the seats, and we'll be playing a team that isn't even ranked in either top 25 poll. UCLA in Chicago = win

Agreed. If we are seeded 11 in the Chicago < Cleveland bracket, we would have excellent fan support and a good chance to beat a 6 seed, and then give a 3 a very good run. Playing a West Coast 6 seed in Chicago is all you can ask for as a BG fan.

The #3 seed in our subregional in this case is Rutgers. Playing against them would indeed be tough, but nothing our lady falcons couldn't at least make into a rough battle.
