Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4515745, member: 12088"] Last year, IU was a good team that just ran into UConn at the wrong moment. They looked ready for the Elite Eight. But the crazy seeding because of Paige’s injury had us as a #2 and IU suffered for it. Could they have won against NC St or ND? Maybe. This year, they look like a better team. Holmes is a bit stronger and maybe even more dominant and they're overall bigger across the backcourt. They also have better perimeter shooting. But they retain their scrappy hustling team spirit. I don’t think this team would have beaten last year’s UConn team either, but it wouldn’t be fair for them to meet us (healthy) in the Sweet Sixteen again. They should be a #1 seed who plays someone like LSU or Utah or UCLA in the Elite Eight, and they’ll have an excellent chance of advancing. [/QUOTE]
