It really looks like it IMO, everything depends on us holding our end of the bargain up since it looks like things are falling our way for a potential championship run.

Thoughts? Also how well do you think we match up against Michigan State and Butler?

We have to win one game at a time, but I have never before seen such a promising path for us to get to the final game.

We don't have to be the best team in the bracket. We just have to be the better team 3 more times. We're only halfway there.

id rather we take it one at a time... that goes for players, coaches, and fans.

but things are looking better everyday.

i do wish that UNI had won over Mich St.... that is going to be a very tough game.

From listening to certain "experts" and doing a little research, we match up well against Michigan State. From what I've read and heard we should be able to put up a lot of points in the paint, something that has fueled or run. We should also be able to pressure Lucious with an attack he is not used to. We need to be able to rebound, get points off transition, and dominate the paint.

If theycan get by the tournament tested IZZO then we have basiclly a road game at Butler. That being said both are winnable if the seniors continue to produce!

I think so. As fas as Mich St no and Butler yes. The thing is its March so anything can happen just ask Georgetown Cuse Kansas and now UK. I think having Pearl is a plus from thd x's and o's standpoint

Michigan State has us outsized and their coach has the "been there many times before" advantage. Get past tomorrow and I'll feel much better...until the next game.

If we win tomorrow, I think you'll really start to hear more of the "d" word.

This team just might be destined.

Mich St. leads the nation in rebounding advantage.

our d is much better suited for perimeter threats such as UNI, Butler, Cornell, etc... but we still have a good shot this next game.

It's starting to look like that.
Gotta get past Michigan State though.
Maybe I'll make a small animal sacrifice tonight, just for good luck. :mamba::crossfingers:

We'll need to play hard and well to win tomorrow. Michigan State is athletic and hard-nosed.

Don't get to far ahead of yourself. If we don't win tomorrow it don't matter where the stars are because we won't be there. At this point if you don't win it all then it don't matter. One game at a time, lets go Big Orange!

Bruce should call his buddy in G'ville, Billy Donovan. Florida beat MSU early in the season.
