Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3450116, member: 2117"] Good example of how important matchups are was South Carolina avoiding any #1 seeds or top 5 teams in 2017. Mississippi State took out undefeated UCONN and Turner's ACL/Stanford took out #2 ND. Those 2 appeared to be the heavy hitters which paved a much more favorable path for SC. It looks like a sure thing the top 3 teams are locks for the Final Four based on the season, but anything can happen in the NCAAs. Just 4 years ago the #1 seeds had 1 combined loss to teams that werent #1 seeds and only 1 (UCONN) made the Final Four. Two got bounced in the Sweet 16, one in front of a home crowd in the Elite 8. Back to the main point--anything can happen, but landing in Fort Wayne would be massive for the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
