Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 4120545, member: 168"] I'm not panicked at all. This team is exactly what I thought it would be: unless Hawkins or Jackson really steps up, they're a NCAA team that likely peaks in the Sweet 16. That's okay—there's a lot to enjoy and like about this team. And, the thing about MBB is that players develop, so the ceiling here can rise (though not to a title team) while the very good teams sometimes play like trash, opening up opportunities for big wins against teams that are objectively better than yours (Duke-OSU). The Baylor game seems like a silly comparison to me. Over 40 minutes Baylor was down for 1 minute and essentially kept a 8-12 point lead the entire time, but a few runs by VCU. UConn tied VCU over 40 minutes and was down for much of it, needing a 3 with about a minute left to tie the game for OT. The raw scores here are misleading—just as the raw records of Tarleton State and UMES were. [/QUOTE]
