Hard to be optimistic after the Indiana game. No idea how these guys will play, but there's a lot on the line. But there was a lot on the line with Indiana, and they didn't have energy.
As the season draws to a close, I'd expect to find out what they're made of, and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. With no chance at an at-large, that's a huge blow to morale, so it's tricky to get these guys in the right mind-frame with the BTT coming up.
This is where coach has to earn his money IMO. You have to get guys psyched up to play the actual games. Hard to do under the circumstances.
