FWIW I'd say it will be less likely. That was the last Hurley team that was much much more about defense than offense. We didn't have enough offense to counter NMSU's crazy good shooting night. It's what led to the UConn of the last 4 years.

Good God. You can always lose a game, but Forman is not near the level of that year’s NMSU and we’re much, much better than we were when we played NMSU.

I'm not really worried about it. The path doesn't get scary until Michigan State, especially if UCLA is banged up. The main problem I see is that Louisville stinks, so it is likely to be Michigan State in the Sweet 16. I think USF has a decent shot of knocking off Louisville.

I agree, Michigan State has enough size and physicality to beat us. It's freaking Izzo. They will deny key spots on the floor and we don't exactly have a host of creative players.
