March Madness: Indiana becomes 2nd No. 1 seed to be eliminated before Sweet 16 for 1st time in 25 years

Yahoo Sports women’s college basketball writer Cassandra Negley recaps #8 Miami's upset over #1 Indiana, sealing their place in their first Sweet 16 since 1992.

It was a very bad week to be a No. 1 seed in March Madness.

No. 1 seed Indiana fell to No. 8 Miami 70-68 on Monday in the second round of the women's NCAA tournament, joining fellow No. 1 seed Stanford in going down during the first weekend.

It is the first time multiple No. 1 seeds have lost before the Sweet 16 in the women's tournament since 1998.
