It's incredible how just about all of the 1-seed candidates have at least one inexplicable loss on their resume. IU's the only one I can think of without a really terrible one (road losses to Illinois and Minnesota are nothing to be ashamed of). Every game they've lost has been to a team that's going to be a top 7 seed in the NCAA's. But I am ashamed of the Ohio St. loss. I just dont think they are a very good team. I think Illinois is a more complete team actually. Not that OSU is bad, but as I said earlier, can't lose that game on that day under those circumstances on Tuesday. Have to say . . . one wonders if that result wasn't caused, at least in part, by their coaching planning a Big Ten title celebration, full with trophy presentation and cutting of the nets, proir to the game. I thought that if IU won the Big Ten title outright and celebrated after the Ohio State game, then the Michigan game could be a difficult mental-hangover type game. Never would I have expected that to come after backing into a shared title (likely multiple-ways!). They probably will lose on Sunday but I'm at least expecting a fired up effort. I'll be very disappointed if they mail it in.
