Indiana & other top teams go down (merged thread)

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.

Not if Crème has any input.
Which is, fortunately, doubtful.
 
Indiana probably deserves to be a 1 seed (along with SC). I don't see Stanford passing the eye test, but for what it is worth, Charlie does. If we win out, I don't see how they can keep us off the 2 line, near the top of the 2's. I wouldn't want to be in the SC bracket, and would prefer to avoid Indiana and Stanford to get to the Final Four. Anyone else (Iowa, MD, LSU, Va Tech) would be great.
 
Iowa just beat Maryland, not good for us. If Maryland won, Iowa would move behind us, but with Iowa winning, both teams are now ahead of us.

I think Indiana is a very good team, but not today. # 22 almost single-handedly gave the game away with turnovers and missed layups. But it is on the coach to steer the ship. Lots of "better" teams will lose this week. Let's just make sure it isn't us. Go Huskies!
 
IU is not a poser. But they are eminently beatable, as is Stanford. @Tonyc and I have been saying this year’s Huskies could surprise everyone, and the rest of you dismissed us as dreamers. Well , we are dreaming… of great things. And it doesn’t hurt that the top teams are in as much disarray now as seven been in for the past few weeks. We may get back to the FF not because we dominate but because everyone else falters.

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.

I’ve seen them do this to so many teams. Jacy Sheldon being back for them is huge. The guard play tomorrow vs. Iowa should be nothing less than spectacular.

#4 or #5 overall does not matter [last #1 seed, or 1st #2 seed] as they will play each other in the Elite Eight anyway. However, it would be better to be the #3 or #6 overall seed so UCONN is on the opposite side of the bracket from SC in the FF.

If we are #6 overall, [although I don't see three other teams that are better by stats or the "eye-test" that would push us lower than #4, conceding SC the #1 overall ranking as of today] I believe the UCONN women's team that played today will continue to improve over the next three weeks and earn their spot in the Final Four.

Go Huskies!

What are the chances that OSU will beat Iowa and wins the title tomorrow? That would be a surprise. With all the attention the other 3 - Iowa with Clark, how good IU has been all season and being a lock for #1 seed, and MD being #1 seed in CC’s latest bracket, OSU has taken the back seat in that conference. I’m rooting for them to win tomorrow. Besides, we sort of have a connection with them - our Dorka.

I think tOSU definitely has a chance; if they can get their shots to fall and can implement their full-court press, I think it can definitely disrupt Iowa. Clark sometimes is prone to getting easily frustrated and I think if tOSU plays defense tomorrow the way they did in the 2nd half today, they can absolutely shut down Iowa, especially if they guard Czinano the same way they did Holmes.

My gut says that Iowa wins this one, but I would not be surprised if Ohio State wins.

So if we can win out, #3 seed is extremely doable. Screw CC.

Their coach was voted the best in the conference. She lost that game for her team. Unbelievably bad game management in the last five minutes.
 
Instead of talking about who lost it would be faster to talk about who won. I don't see how UCONN isn't a 1 seed if they win the Big East and have a couple more somewhat impressive wins. I am glad Villanova pulled out their game so the final will be a couple top teams. So many teams can't find the extra gear in the tournament and that is one strength for UCONN.
