The road to Nashville

The selection committee gave Taylor a surprise present today. The Cardinal will begin its journey to Nashville ten miles from her home – in Ames, Iowa – as the #2 seed in the Stanford Region.

The Cardinal's first-round game is in Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum (map) against #15 South Dakota on Saturday, March 22 at 5:30 pm CT.

If the Cardinal wins that game (one game at a time), its second-round game is in the Hilton Coliseum against either #8 Iowa State or #9 Florida State on Monday, March 24 at 8:00 pm CT.

You can buy tickets in the Stanford section for the first & second rounds from Stanford until 5:00 pm on Tuesday, March 18. Or you can buy tickets, as available, from Iowa State.

If the Cardinal wins its first and second round games, its next game(s) will be at home in Maples Pavilion on Sunday, March 30 and Tuesday, April 1. You can buy tickets now from Stanford.

If the seedings hold true, the Final Four in Nashville will be UConn vs South Carolina and Notre Dame vs Tennessee. But if the Cardinal advances, you'll be able to buy tickets from Stanford after the Regional games are completed.

In regard to the rest of the Pac-12:

  • Cal is the #7 seed in the Notre Dame region. Its first game will be in Waco against Fordham.
  • Oregon State is the #9 seed in the Stanford region. Its first game will be in Seattle against Middle Tennessee.
  • Arizona State is the #9 seed in the Notre Dame region. Its first game will be in Toledo against Vanderbilt.
  • USC is the #9 seed in the Louisville region. Its first game will be in Knoxville against St. John's.

Here is the tournament bracket.
