I posted a question asking what seed we deserve this year and if we will actually get it after being shafted with a #12 seed last year.

Whats shocking is apparently A Maryland player C.Langhorne actually sends a message to Lieberman asking what she has to do to show she's one of the 5 best players in the country. WTF! Who does that as a college player? Someone's got a pretty high opinon of herself and its not becoming.

Whoever Chris is, she answered your question very nicely:
Chris: (Nashville, TN): Thanks for the chat Nancy! What do you think of the Bowling Green Falcons. They're the class of the MAC with great senior leadership. Can they make a run in the tournament?
Nancy Lieberman: (2:36 PM ET ) Yeah they can because the key to their team is D. And they do a great job of shutting people down. They are balanced in scoring and have senior leadership as well. And Miller is a terrific defensive coach. They were holding teams to 56 point per game earlier in the year. Ali Mann and Carin Horne are great leaders. So yes they can upset some people, because the big schools haven't seen them. There is an element of surprise there that they may be able to exploit against larger schools.
edit: Mentioned again later in the chat:
Andrew (Green Bay): Upsets are much less frequent in the women's game, including in the NCAA Tournament. That said, what mid-majors do you see threatening big conference powers this year (how about UW-Green Bay)?
Nancy Lieberman: UW-Green Bay are pretty good. They are pretty competitive. With mid-majors look at Bowling Green and what they have done. They can knock people off. We always get this question on the little guys, and if they belong in the mix. And they do belong, but you have to beat people. Look at the Top 25, you have so many of the majors up there, but then you have BG, Middle-Tennessee St., and Ball St. who have all played well, as has Western KY. So there is a group of mid-major teams who can make some noise. But it all comes down to winning; that is what gets you the respect.
