Indiana & other top teams go down (merged thread)

I guess we will have to press Indiana if we end up playing them.

Indiana totally fell apart when OSU started pressing. Nothing could be less unexpected, but they had five- and ten-second calls, tie-ups, and bad passes. It seemed that they kept trying the same set and kept losing the ball.

The press completely changed the game, along with Sheldon off the bench for tOSU and the IU foul trouble.

Anyone who plays Indiana in the NCAA is going to press them like crazy and go after Holmes.

Nobody is unbeatable this year including SC (Although they are managing it so far).

The question is Tony...
Do we really play and look like a Final-4 team?
Forget (for a second) about the other guys.

We were certainly better today...
Perhaps by default...Who knows?

Indiana blew a 24 point lead and lost to Ohio State. So much for another invincible number one seed!

This is EXACTLY what I've been talking about. It's March, anything can happen during these conference tournaments. ACC #1 seed Notre Dame (25-5) lost to Louisville, scoring in single digits (7,8,9, respectively) in the first 3 quarters. Their point guard and floor general Olvia Miles is out with a knee injury. S!#* happens when your best player(s) are on the bench injured. :( Not one player scored in double figures for ND today.

Have seen Indiana play several times this year and they are one of the best outside shooting teams in the US. That being said, if you rely too much on the outside shot you will eventually have some bad games. I like UConn's balance with two bigs who can score and two excellent outside shooters. Assuming Caroline can come back, we are in a good position.

Get ready for some fun, cause with Paige and Ice playing next year along with UCONN's recruiting class, there's gonna be a lot of paybacks in the Big East, and against a few others for the rough play this year!

Told you, the posers would fall. As did Utah. LSU next. Maryland too. So who goes back to the number one seed. One guess.
Go Huskies.

I think Stanford and Indiana will remain #1, but Utah will move to #2. The best we can do is #2
 
Even with the loss, Indiana is a #1 seed. Anyone who could have conceivably challenged them for the spot also lost. The question is, who else is on the top line? In the unlikely event that LSU upsets SC they get a top seed, if UCONN can win the next two games big and look good doing it a top seed is a possibility, if Maryland wins their tourney title they have a shot (and the same for Iowa), and Stanford is still a possible pick. Most years it seems like there are five teams who have a legitimate claim on a top seed; this year it feels like there is one definite lock in SC, one lock in Indiana who had a little help, and everyone else. I have no idea who gets those other two #1 seeds. I do know that whoever gets the spots will have gotten a lot of help and that there will be people saying “how did they get a #1 seed?” It will be up to the teams to prove that they deserve it.
