Indiana Pacers – A New Low
It’s funny that a team with a 53-25 can be considered to be in a crisis, but the Indiana Pacers aren’t playing anything like championship contenders, and their loss, at home, 107-88 to the Atlanta Hawks has to be one of those rock bottom moments they’ve been heading towards for quite some time.

Chicago Bulls – Championship Contenders in the Making

UConn Over Florida – Not That Much of an Upset
For the second time this season the Connecticut Huskies beat the Florida Gators. The first time it was a Shabazz Napier buzzer beater, and this time it was exceptional defense from the senior, a huge game from DeAndre Daniels and the much bigger stage of a convincing 63-53 win in the NCAA Tournament’s national semifinal.
