The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay women’s basketball team will learn its opening-round opponent for the NCAA Tournament when selections are unveiled starting at 7 p.m. March 15 on ESPN.
As of the evening of March 14, longtime ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme was predicting the Phoenix will receive a No. 13 seed and play No. 4 West Virginia in the first round.
NCAA bracketology analyst Autumn Johnson also has the Phoenix as a No. 13 seed and facing No. 4 Minnesota.
Megan Gauer of Her Hoop Stats, another respected source in the bracketology game, had UWGB earning a No. 14 seed and playing No. 3 Michigan.
The Phoenix has been a No. 13 seed twice, losing 94-85 to Old Dominion in 2000 and 60-55 to Texas in 2002.
It has been a No. 14 seed on three occasions, losing to Illinois 82-58 in 1998, to UCLA 76-69 in 1999 and to Houston 62-47 in 2004.
Either seed would be a lower one than last season, when UWGB was a No. 12 and lost to Alabama in the first round.
The Phoenix is making its 21st appearance in the NCAAs. Its highest seed came in 2011, when it received a No. 5 on the way to the program’s only trip to the Sweet 16.
UWGB is 25-8 and earned an automatic bid to the Big Dance with a 57-49 win over Youngstown State in the Horizon League tournament title game March 10.
