Rutgers is pleased with its #4 seed, but they aren't surprised by it. They aren't worried about traveling either. Notre Dame is happy to be in, but (unlike ESPN) they never thought they were on the bubble. Miami Coach Ferne was praying to get in; her prayers were answered. BC is comfortable traveling. 'Nova is thrilled with the #2 seed.

The Sf Chron says that the selection committee tried to mitigate Stanford's home court by stacking the west, but Coach VanDerveer wasn't surprised. Washington is happy to play in Oregon. Arizona, on the other hand, is not happy with its #6 seed, and it's also not happy with getting shipped out. UCLA was very disappointed to be left out; and both Pepperdine and UCSB were disappointed with their placement.

Purdue was honored by the #2 nod. The Gophers were hoping for a #5, but were fine with a #6. Iowa was ok with the NIT bid. Penn State is upset -- they wonder, "If we're the Big 10 champions, then why only a #4 seed?" OSU is happy that if it has to play La Tech in round 2, it will be at home.

Virginia was happy with its seed, but George Washington says it's unfair that they have to play Oklahoma at Oklahoma. Duke got exactly what they expected. Kathy Orton doesn't like how the committee did its business.

Tennessee is happy that Texas didn't end up #2 in their region. This is Tennessee's 15th #1 seed. Vandy was hoping for a #3 but they were expecting the #4 that they got; they are eyeing the possible match-up with UConn. LSU is happy about the #1 seed, but they aren't looking forward to traveling, especially to the tough West region.

La Tech couldn't believe that they were only a #5. (Speaking of La Tech: Coach Barmore turned down the Aggies job.) Mississippi State is ready for the Pit in Albuquerque.

K-State felt queasy watching the selection special, but they ended up OK with the results. Coach Patterson says there's no difference between a #2 seed and a #3 seed anyway. Texas Tech is pleased with its #2 draw, and the Raiders are excited about hosting. Colorado thinks the #6 seed is fair.

Texas had mixed feelings about its #2 seed; Coach Conradt was more surprised by other factors -- she said that it's shocking that the Big East got 7 teams in while the Big 12 only had 5. Texas also reiterated its anger with the hosting process, which resulted in lots of travel for the Longhorns. Conradt says it's all about money -- "I guess it's an auction now."

Hampton is trying not to be indimidated with its first-round match-up against Texas. Utah is unhappy. Coach Elliott says the committee has treated them unfairly before, and they did it again.

Auburn believed that its high RPI made it worthy of a tournament slot; they were sad not to get it. Xavier was glad to make it in off the bubble.
