The final four team was drilled by Dayton the year before. Not sure what my point is, but there could be something to that

Good point or good excuse ?

I'll lean toward good point.

Seasons end the same way every year, that's all.

Last night the students were celebrating on the court. No matter how this season ends, in 20 years those students will say this was a great team.

Texas usually gives us trouble, mostly related to officiating. But I don't think they have the guards to beat the press this year

We are definitely good enough to handle Texas even if the game is played on the moon, but as a big fan of the basketball program and college bball in general, we definitely have a tendency to follow up big wins with huge losses.

Wrong.

Defense that is awesome. Press and halfcourt.

Bigs that can block shots and score.

Wings who can block shots rebound and score.

Guards who can defend anyone and score. Don't turn it over.

Team is still getting fine tuned.
Team last year was good. Team this year is great.

Definitely final four capable this year.

But it's not like football, where only really good coaches get their teams to outplay more talented teams.

Less talented opponents win with regularity in march madness

,The only thing that keeps us from being "great" is our poor free throw shooting. If not for that, we would be as close to great as any other team in the country. Considering our style of play and improved shooting over last year, if our free throw percentage improves, we will be a nightmare for any of the teams you likely consider great.

Kansas is shooting 62% from FT. Is it causing them to not be great? Many people say they are great.
