I'm afraid we will lose at Wichita State and have a 3 way tie. I'm afraid we'll then lose to Wichita State in the AAC Tournament. I'm afraid we'll then lose to the first team we play that can hit open shots and/or run offense.

As for the NCAA, i've said it since the X/FLA week that if we run into a team that runs an offense...even if they arent nearly as talented as us...we are in trouble. I hope im wrong on all account here. |

Plus, any team that forces us to shoot and make shots has a winning recipe. We haven't proven we can do that consistently against quality opponents. Someone needs to emerge as an alpha. Its imperative.

listening to the show now. mick is talking about how the teams that have made the tournament 7 straight years are either full of nba players (duke) or defense and rebounding teams (gonzaga, michigan state, wisconsin).
does he really not know those 3 teams were all top 25 in offense in 5 of those 7 years? defense, rebounding, AND scoring. you have to have all 3 to advance (or you know, a bunch of nba players). |

I don't disagree...you have to defend and rebound...but you have to keep up with a good offensive team. Smart, talented, and well coached players are going to expose your D...at least to a certain extent. In March other teams are even going to try harder on D and rebounding. If they are talented they can probably get it done. Our "hustle advantage" is going to be reduced in March when all teams are in a one and done situation. All teams are going to leave it on the floor. We must be able to score points. We can't have a situation where the coach can't figure out how to score for 10+ minutes. |

Every time we play a team that can pass and shoot we get beat, dating back to facing Creighton and Harvard in the tourney. How good is our defense really if we always get beat when we play a team that can pass and shoot?

he actually said we don't have talented enough players to run offensive sets all game. our players aren't capable of that. "we don't have the shooting, we're not an elite shooting team. we don't have the players that can run 37 set plays in a game. thats not who we are, we would be a bad team if we tried to play that way." |
