Am I the only who thinks getting an early lead is a curse?

[dogpause]

In tournament games, having to fight back from an early deficit seems to give a team the ability to forget about the crowd, the venue and everything else that could be a distraction, and to simply focus on playing their best.

Having said that, I have to admit that I was very worried when we got down 16-4, especially when one of the announcers brought up Louisville.

Well, two things:

1. We had an early lead on Michigan State, and that worked out.
2. It's going to be a road game, so anything that gets the crowd out of it would be great.

I'd say a late deficit is much worse.
