It was a good game all the way around IMHO. Plenty of great performances to point to, ND built a big lead in the 2nd half, and SC attempted a furious comeback.  Both teams are known for playing good defense, so perhaps the high score is simply due to better offense.  I'm very glad ND won - I think it showed that at this time, SC is likely on the outside looking in (at making the final 4).

SC likely falls to 6th or 7th.  UCONN, Texas, L'ville, UCLA and ND should all be ahead of them.  MAYBE Miss State.  Point is, IMHO UCONN and Texas are the 2 best teams,  it's hard to pick #3 and 4 at this time. Maybe UCLA and ND.  Not sure what to make of L'ville.  I'd love to see UCLA square off against SC.

Lots of hoops left to be played.  Lots of time for ALL teams to improve (It never ceases to amaze me how people will sometimes reference a single team saying "they will be so much better by March" - as if no one else will improve)...

JMO but I think UCONN is in a class by itself, and Texas is in its' own class as the #2 team.  After that there are a bunch of teams fighting it out for the rest of the top 5...  ND, L'ville, UCLA, SC, Miss State, Baylor.  In fact, at this time, there's my pick for the elite 8 as of right now... and probably the 1 and 2 seeds...
