Jay Bilas picked against UConn in the 2014 tourney for all six games.  That was during the time he was touting his book about "Toughness".  He looked like a fool as that year UConn was the picture in the dictionary for the word "toughness".

I do agree with this quote from the book:

" “Knight has always said that there are many more mental mistakes in games than physical mistakes. “I always say, ‘Dumb loses more games than smart wins.’ That’s about concentration, discipline, understanding the game and your impact on it. That’s toughness.”

This years team not so sure it matches the 2014 teams toughness/basketball smarts:

6:44 mark in Creighton game Andre Jackson launches a long 3 (plenty of time still on the clock) with score UConn 48 to 46 and misses the rim by 5 feet.  Prior to that shot he was 2 for 15 from 3.   Maybe he should understand where his impact on the game comes from.

Creighton had 17 offensive rebounds on 39 misses.  Creighton out toughed UConn on the offensive glass.

Haven't watched Maryland much, the game against Rutgers where they lost by 14 would say Maryland did not show much toughness (Rutgers really does play a tough brand of basketball).

Like he's picked against UConn, let's make him look the fool again.
