Just stop it Al.

We beat two top 10 teams at the RAC. Tournament is not at the RAC. How many good teams have we beaten outside the RAC? Zero. How many mediocre teams have we beaten away from RAC? Zero. How many bad teams have we beaten away from RAC? One

We would have a chance against Kansas or anybody else, IF the game is at the RAC. I do not believe this team is capable of winning on the road or at a neutral site against any decent team. I hope they prove me wrong vs. Purdue and in the B1G tournament and then again in NCAA, but if they lose to Purdue and then go out in first round of B1G, I do not think they even make the big dance much less have any chance of sweet 16.

On the bright side, in NIT, they would likely get two or three home games and maybe make it to MSG. Question: Is it better to make it to NIT final 4 or to go to NCAA and get bounced in the first round???

We took #20 Penn State down to the wire on their home court. We took #18 Iowa down to the wire on their home court. We lost 54-51 to Illinois. We lost 77-65 to MSU on their home court, when we weren't playing the basketball we're playing now. We've been very competitive on the road, though not as successful as we'd like. But The basketball we're playing now, is exponentially better than what we've played recently. This is why I don't fear anyone. Kansas, Baylor, Gonzaga, or Dayton? Bring em on!! We play great defense and crash the boards, and we'll have a chance against anyone.
