Revenge and another Quad 1 win? Let’s bring it.
I want this one badly. We owe them big time.

payback time, baby!
I do believe we owe these guys some payback.
Need to defend the three
Need to run them off the three point line. Too sleepy and not aggressive enough last time, they got a lot of great looks that they converted on.
We will be ranked for this one can’t let it affect our play
Not so sure we will be. I think we end up 1 or 2 spots outside the rankings.
This is a BIG game. Want to upgrade a seed? Win this one

Yep, this and OSU in Columbus are SUCH attainable Quad 1 opportunities. We need them both.
With Rutgers Duke Auburn Clemson UCONN Providence losing I see us and FAU moving into the rankings

Really need this roadkill
Honestly? I'd rather be a 6 than a 5. With this team we need to go on a run of strong play and chaos around us. Give me better odds of a 2 being upset before the sweet 16 than a 1.
Just stop Picket from backing a defender down to right in front of the rim.

Going to be a big difference without the switches. They absolutely feasted on those during the first game.

Starts what was going to be the 3-game revenge slate before the Minnesota reschedule.

This.
A very good comment. 5 equal parts. (Actually, 7-8 equal parts.) The ultimate in team basketball.
At their very best, one can see a resemblance to the '89 squad......but only when they're playing at their peak. Lots of length and athleticism. (Epps needs to be this year's version of Kendall Gill.)
