That is a real possibility! That happened to me on my very first stroker flathead (when I was 15).
Luckily, I saw the oil pressure drop and shut it down. Pulled the pan and there was one of those dang soft plugs in the pan. Knocked a new one in (made sure the 'peen' around the edges a bit more than the shop did) and Bob was your Uncle. I did NOT have any bearing issues . . . but I also didn't run it long enough for the engine to start seizing up.
Actually, I hope this is the issue! LOL
