I really believe that being #1 is a great thing for this team and for mostly any Jay Wright team. Coming into this season, I think that Iand most fans have been pre-occupied with this "Round of 32" thing. I was having a hard time focusing on each game we play and the great teams around us play. The team might have been feeling some of that also - couldn't blame them.
Being #1 now certainly gets me focused on every single game we play. Every game is the Super Bowl carrying the #1 banner. Big pressure on our team every night that we play as #1. That pressure might be helpful when we go into the almighty "Round of 32" game with crazy pressure on us - because we have had national focused pressure on us for at least 4 games of the season carrying the #1 banner (last week's two and this week's two at a miniumum). Also keeps our guys focused on "the next game" even as the "bigger games" are coming. Jay must like this...
