The latest projection has us as an 11 seed vs 6 seed Ohio State in Maryland’s region. If we win we’d play the 3 seed Gonzaga. That’s a dream bracket and our best shot at the Sweet 16.

Assuming we get in, I'd likely roll the dice, scrap any attempt at running a coherent offense and put our best scorers on the floor and have anyone else focusing on setting good picks and screens for the shooters. If they find themselves wide open under the basket due to a defensive breakdown or can get an easy stickback opportunity, fine. Otherwise, your job is to rebound without fouling and free up the shooters. And play good defense on that end.

And if that means the best have to go 40 minutes, fine. Use time outs if they need a blow.

Ain't gonna be no second chances from here on in.

Sounds like good advice. Go for broke.
