Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4546771, member: 10435"] Ok, I understand your point. I think they probably underestimated Marquette, Georgetown, Creighton and St. John's in these last games and were not ready because they had beaten them before. Nika and Lou both raised the issue of softer practices as a way to conserve game energy and questioned their efficacy. Assuming that is the case it didn't work according to them. They are a different team since the SC game. They frequently are not firing on all cylinders and it's just a struggle every single game. For all those BE pooh-poohers when they joined, saying it was another AAC, what do they say now? We had a NC Final team, an Elite 8 team, and a Sweet 16 team last year. They will do damage again this year. One of the reasons? The quality of the coaches. Another? You are playing UCONN twice or three times a year. What did the AAC do last year? How many ranked teams did they have this year? [/QUOTE]
