Joni Comstock Four Quotations

In looking at Ohio State and Maryland, it was very, very close. Maryland was one of the teams the committee looked at very carefully in terms of consideration for a No. 1 seed. In our final judgment, two of the things that worked against Maryland were the four losses and it did not bring quite the strength of schedule as the other teams.

There are more than four teams under consideration for the four No. 1 seed slots, and there is nothing that would prevent the Atlantic Coast Conference from claiming three of those No. 1 positions.
