He was looking smooth last night.
How do you like our draw BW? Looking forward to getting some payback on Wisconsin.
Yeah, perhaps a revenge on Wisconsin could help, but we have to get there first. I am always worried. Before the bracket, you (or just maybe me) think you can move on, but we have played crap teams in conference, so I hope we are prepared for these guys. The first team we play beat Michigan St on the road as well as K St who we barely beat on a neutral court, but I looked at the rest of their games, and they got blown out by most other teams close to our caliber so they were probably just overlooked. Baylor played a much tougher conference schedule than us, so who knows?
What I do like about this team more than any other AZ team heading into the tourney....every time we face a tough team and it is a close game, they rise to the occasion. And also, they are playing by far their best basketball right now. The only fear I have is their offensive lapses and, against a team with depth, getting into foul trouble. If we can avoid those two things we can beat anyone.
Even if we face Kentucky, if we can stay out of foul trouble, we could have a chance. Our perimeter D isn't as good as our interior D but with Stanley and RHJ guarding guys out there as well as McConnell they should be good.
Also, I love that Stanley Johnson won four state championships in hs...he willed his team to win...you have to have noticed....when he is at the line near the end of game he always pulls through. I just think he is a winner. He beat Gordon in a championship when he was a jr and Gordon was a sr.
I feel better about this team than any in a very long time....probably since Gardner/Arenas/Jefferson/Wright/Woods and Walton.
