Sunday evening, Indiana women’s basketball gathered in the seats of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, waiting for the jumbotron to display what they had been vying for all season long: the ever-coveted No. 1 seed.
The Hoosiers had a good idea they would see what they were hoping for — they never moved from a No. 1 seed in all of ESPN’s projected brackets for the 2023 NCAA tournament. But that didn’t make it any less exciting when the screen confirmed their expectations.
“To actually see it on the big screen, actually see that number one next to our name, it’s something that looking back on it I might not have thought was possible,” Grace Berger said.
