So a team like Louisville who plays their "A Game" can beat Baylor, sure Oregon can win. But 1st off Oregon isn't even a champion. Secondly, regarding the undefeated champs-- they never took games off and allowed weaker teams to beat them. You're using a one-game exhibition as if it means anything. You're putting way too much emphasis on exhibition basketball when I think over-and-over you've seen team play overcome individual stars. So what that Team USA individually tried hard. They aren't a TEAM yet. This is a two-loss Oregon team. They don't have the pressure of going undefeated. They showed they couldn't handle it early on. They haven't even showed that they are a champion yet. The undefeated teams are "greater." Another point is -- consistency makes greatness. Two losses by a team more talented than everyone else is a weakness. [/QUOTE]
