Reply to comment by Spicybrown3 in UCLA rallies late, stuns UNC in OT for NCAA women’s soccer title by hamm0ck

>, is that they and Duke sometimes seem to receive undue credit & praise early on in the season based on their histories. And also when they designate seeds and locations for the tourney in March.

i mean at least for this year UNC were runners up as the 8 seed with all players except Manek returning and a great transfer prospect - that seems to go against what you were saying since it wasn't based on their histories nor were they seeded highly last year

Ya said it yourself, they were an 8. So they had enough talent to put a run together in the dance. U do realize it’s never the four “best teams” in the final four right? They stayed number one for a few weeks looking like dogshit vs mid majors. They had no reason to be ranked one after those first 2 games. There’s only one reason why they stayed there. And what I said about Bilas and Vitale is absolutely true.
