Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4207867, member: 364"] I am rolling my eyes. How could you have this take after seeing the Auburn, Michigan State, VCU early. This team was always going to rock from potential to be great to just good enough to make MM. There should not be any doubt early when you saw the senior leadership and pluck of Cole and Martin. We are not in an easy conference; we were going to stumble. But the ability to get Sanogo to both get more stable in the post (with pass as an option) and now to cut fouls early; the insertion of Jackson having defined roles; Whaley consistency; add in the potential 3s outburst from Polley or Hawkins; we are in a better arc than that Caribbean trip. Some years we simply cannot say we are Elite Eight or near. But matchups in the MSG fest or in March gets us to a good run. This hard fighting spirit we all should have seen early in back to back MSU and Auburn competition. We got tested there. [/QUOTE]
