[QUOTE="Deleted member 186590, post: 1607923"] I'll give it a go - we lost to Maryland at home who is a 10 seed, to Missouri (who as it turns out is not very good at basketball this year afterall), and more recently got handled by MSU who is an 11 seed, so we are capable of losing to inferior teams - we've shown that this year, we only need one of those performances to rear it's ugly head to be sent packing But you are not wrong to have your hopes up - we are the most tested team in the country and now we have Belo playing at a high level, or bench is capable of saving the day if some of starters have an off night. We have the best closer in the game and a Center that can dominate on any given night, we have shooters, we have guys that can get to the rim, we make our free throws when they matter, we have a close knit team that pick eachother up - We have an ALL IN mentality and WE WILL NOT BE GOING HOME without the trophy in our hands! dang it. . . see there I go [/QUOTE]
