Message: [QUOTE="connVA, post: 3892189, member: 10999"] The optimal time to get them may actually be the round of 32. They haven’t played another high major since UVA on 12/26 so they would really be dealing with the big boys for the first time in almost three months. They also haven’t had to deal with Big East / Big Ten level physicality since the Iowa game, also back in Dec. Assuming they need to adjust, that’s probably the first game or two- the cream always rises to the top- and then they’re off and running. The caveat for us- besides their absurd level of talent- is the challenge of adjusting to likely tighter officiating during the tourney. The Big East refs have largely swallowed their whistles at MSG but our bigs could be in for a rude awakening next weekend if they try banging the same way down low. [/QUOTE]
