Then in the second half, they calm down, their superior NBA talent shines through, our offense goes completely into the ****ter, then we can't run a press without scoring buckets, and they start to break it really easily, draw close and then close us out.
We basically have two good wins this year, Virginia at home and Oklahoma at home. I think Oklahoma is actually probably not great.
The last four losses are all to good teams, and they were all competitive, but a legit title contender would've won those games. I suppose if we can beat UVA, we can beat anyone, but we certainly struggle when facing NBA talent.
Hopefully we can win 4 of the next 5 and recover a bit down the stretch. Would be really good for us if we can get a 3 seed, because we can probably overwhelm weaker teams and make a run to the S16, and then we'll just have to hope we end up playing a 1 or 2 that doesn't have NBA level guard talent and/or somebody upsets them first.
