We didn't play well vs Arizona in that game. Reed/Mullins were out, and crowd was kinda quiet. Towards the end of the game the team was waking up and took the lead only to lose it . Lacked rebounding and that did us in . I would claim we played that game kinda like we've been playing recently .

Get this team healthy, develop offensive chemistry and we can beat everybody.

Why would we believe any analyst? According to them T Shannon and the Illini were a bad matchup for us

I think our pace (this squad) is not conducive to blow outs unless we're shooting at a high percentage. We are methodical and at times plodders, mainly running half court sets.

Prior championship teams would supplement the same offense with a running/speed game. Andre Jackson running fast breaks was a thing of beauty. Tristan would also run the fast break to perfection. 6 point leads would multiply to double digits almost instantly.

This team even with the offensive advantage will slow it down at half court. It's working great and we're winning. My concern with such half court focus could we comeback from a 2nd half double digit deficit without a good fast break offense.

I'm still looking for that player who utilizes the outlet pass after rebound leading transition baskets. It's like we don't have a need for speed.

And another thing, Mr. Torres: Last year's squad was clearly inferior to this one, on both sides of the ball, and especially at point guard (arguably the most important position in the tournament). They weren't even in the same league defensively, and yet Hurley brought them within one possession of taking down the eventual national champion. Yeah, that was in the second round. But this year's team won't see that level of competition until the sweet sixteen at least. I like our chances.
