This one is intriguing. Maryland on a roll, Indiana maybe righted the ship after struggling a bit. Big showdown w/ conference championship implications.

Indiana really needs this win. One of the bigger surprises of the "reveal" to me was that Indiana was left out of a hosting spot, even though their resume in objective terms is clearly one of the top 16. I guess the committee was penalizing them for either their strong OOC schedule or for having no bad losses :rolleyes:

Usually the NCAA is pretty consistent with how they seed teams. They missed the ball on Indiana with their reveal.

To me it's stunning how badly they dropped the ball on this one.

Indiana was left out, despite having:
  • A win on a neutral court over the overall #1 team
  • No losses to teams outside the top 16
Mississippi State was put at #10, despite having:
  • Best wins over a borderline top 25 team and a bubble team
  • A loss to a bubble team
I could do a similar comparison to #13 Arizona, who played an awful OOC. Yes they have the huge win at home over UCLA -- but that's still nowhere near as good as beating the overall #1 on a neutral court. SMH

Again, there you go using logic with an NCAAT committee group. Just send the box of Twinkies/Bon-bons and a case of diet cokes to the hotel and let them watch Downton Abbey or The Crown with their Netflix account...

How do you lose a point

That was a poorly constructed sentence on my part. I meant the margin was down, not that Indiana was trailing.

Refs decided to call fouls on Austin tonight, keeping her quiet.

Indiana is falling apart. Multiple shot clock violations and a bunch of turnovers, in addition to not being able to get stops. 55-45 w/ about a minute left in Q3.

Toughest defense in the Big Ten.

Yes, Maryland has a lot to do w/ how Indiana struggled this quarter.

Hoosiers got back to back buckets, but then Maryland hit a 3 to close out the scoring in the quarter. 58-49.

Indiana keeps missing FTs. Can't do that when you're trying to come back. Can't stop Owusu either. 66-61 w/ 5 minutes left.

Indiana had 2 or 3 possessions where they could've cut the lead to 3 or less, but came up empty. Now Maryland is up 10. Pretty much over now. 2:48 left.

edit--now they get back to back buckets to cut it 6, needed that a minute or two ago

Brutal loss by Indiana. They coughed up a huge run in the 3rd quarter and could never recover. Poor free throw shooting (13 of 21) was an achilles heel.
