Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5117276, member: 1268"] The mentality is being built and you could see the team make a stride last game as it came to their team defense and activity. Lots of great switching. That felt like a step in the right direction. Gonzaga is interesting because they have two very mobile bigs that can shoot and create space, in addition to Ike. Few has some unique parts this year that he can create mismatches with. Maui is going to be fun. There is no reason we shouldn’t make the final, as Hurley should run circles around Hardaway amd MSU is so low on talent this year. Not making the final would be a massive upset. On the other side we’ll get UNC/Auburn out of the gates with the winner playing Iowa St (3 top 10 teams). I’d like to see how we do against either a super deep and physical Auburn team or a team like ISU that is going to force a flow half court. Both will be a challenge this early in the season. UNC would be the easiest matchup. Based on KP we’d actually be 3.5pt dogs to Auburn, likely even bigger spread if they beat UNC and ISU. Would be great to see how this team responds to some “disrespect” and if they have the Hurley makeup. One more cupcake and a couple more weeks of practice and this team should be ready. I know I am. In comparing possible F4 coaches it brought up the visual of Few and Boeheim in Phoenix last year just staring at the Huskies warmup with a look of awe in their face. That was classic. [/QUOTE]
