Had a chance to show the country and the committee something today, and we came out Charmin Soft. Got our lunch money taken, and just maybe a black eye. If we didn’t come out hot from three, this would have been yet another blowout road loss along the lines of Creighton and UConn.
Slick Rick had his team prepared and ready to play, Sha didn’t. We made fun of Pitino’s meltdown, but it obviously did something to his team. We had three ugly road losses in the last two weeks. The thirteen conference wins are very impressive, given what was expected of us, but those thirteen wins blind us to what this team is: wildly inconsistent and completely undependable on the road except at significantly inferior competition.
I know over 90% of us here said we were a lock. Well, now we get to test that, don‘t we? Now, we have to sit back and see what other teams do - which is exactly where we don’t want to be. Those numbers? They weren’t in favor of us. They said we were the weakest at large team in the tournament. Now we’ll see how it holds up when the committee puts us under the microscope.
I hope it all works out for us. I really do.
