Basketball Rutgers WBB gets a 6-seed, takes on BYU in NCAA Tourney

The OP's article included the following statement:

"Head coach C. Vivian Stringer and the Scarlet Knights haven't made at least the Sweet 16 since 2009 when it made it five years in a row, the Elite 8 since 2008 for a second straight season, and the Final Four since 2007."

My first thought about that was "yes, that's what happens when the NCAA committee, with its perverse sense of humor, keeps sending us up to Storrs for the first two rounds."

When I saw that the entire tournament will be held in San Antonio, I thought "at least they can't send us to Storrs this year!

This should be a pretty good draw for RU. I was hoping to get a team that isn't familiar with our style of play, And a second round matchup against the UofA is something will be of great interest here in Tucson.

Love this bracket for us this year. I’ve honestly stopped watching the selection show for the women when I know the RU women will make it. This was the biggest surprise in a while. Really like this region
 
Interesting that there will be no fans allowed in the first two rounds of the Women’s tournament. Various sites list only players families will be allowed. Click on tickets for any first or second round game in the link below.
 
Both the Men's and Women's teams got favorable draws in their respective tournaments (how is that even possible for Rutgers teams??). Great opportunity for Stringer's team!! Go RU!!
 
I know some here are disappointed that Rutgers ended up as a 6th seed and not a 5. But just like the men, I think the bracket is a pretty good one. Here's hoping the women make a nice run.

A bit more than of interest. The idea is driving me crazy.

I am struggling with who to root for if they both advance. I love both teams in different ways.

May I suggest that you root for both to do well and whoever wins, you win since either is good for you?
Normally when RU or a UC school is not playing, I am left with rooting for the lesser of two evils, but you have the luxury of either being acceptable, if they both advance to play each other. That if is the big hurdle. Not counting eggs before they hatch and all of that.

Go RU!

If the ladies play like they did in 9 game win streak, they should take care of BYU and have a good chance against Arizona
