Indiana & other top teams go down (merged thread)

especially since only UConn and Stanford have shown they can play SC close.

Simply not true. Ole MIss took them to OT. Mississippi St. lost to them by 7. They also had 9 and 10 point winning margins, that's reasonably close (UCLA and Georgia.

Good point. But Ole Miss is not a contender for a 1 or even a 3 seed. Not Georgia either. UCLA maybe, but it seems like a long shot to me.

Okay. But most of the teams in the running for a #1 seed didn't play South Carolina, so we don't know if they also would've played them close.

edit--they blew out Maryland, but several of the other contenders didn't play them

Yes, that’s fair. I thought I made it clear I wa speculating about how Iowa or Va Tech might do against SC. Do you see it differently?

My sense is Beal would contain Clark and Czinano would be dominated in the paint. Similarly, Kitley is not nearly assertive enough to contend with Boston and Cardoso, and Va Tech’s backcourt is not good enough to make up for this.

My bad, I was skimming thru the thread.
