Andy Katz's 5 to Watch

[TU_BLA]

Apparently Andy Katz likes us even if nobody else does. STORY

BTW, the last time Katz was this high on us was 1999-2000. That was the year he said TU could shock people by making a deep NCAA run, perhaps even the Final Four. I know later in his tenure at ESPN he had to get on board with their "push the P5 teams" but he has always had pretty good insight to players, coaches, and potential.

I was onboard until he listed a Travis Ford coached team

Ford has always been able to bring talented players in. Ford's downfall has always been the x's and o's, especially late in games and I think part of that is he takes the DW approach of giving your best player the ball and letting them go 1 on 5.

I've never understood why guys like Travis Ford don't understand their strengths and weaknesses and coach accordingly. Assume ego. Recruit and bring in high caliber talent. Hire an assistant or two who know the X's and O's and let them coach. You be the CEO.

Too bad we didn't get Illinois St in a tourney for once. They might be too much for us. ;0)
