Wow, I guess the future is bright...
At least it's a P5 school and not a nobody program as it usually is.
Any nicknames for this game?
Yeah. Like our last NCAA Tourney loss to Kentucky.
The game was over before the flagrant
Don't forget 2003 losing to #10 auburn as a #2 seed!
You're not going to go very far in the NCAAT without playing defense. That's why Skip's teams always got bounced early. He only made that one Sweet 16 because the #5 seed got upset in the 1st round and we were able to slip by the #13 & #12 seeds by 1 & 4 points. You can beat teams that have inferior talent to yours during the regular season by simply outscoring them, but as you move along in the NCAAT you are going to run into teams with comparable talent....and that's when not playing defense will inevitably knock you out of the tournament.
