Also, we have not peaked yet, and typically Fred's teams don't peak until March. The talent is there, the coaching is there, we just need to put it all together at the right time. Hopefully we can do that, make a run at a Big 12 Tourney Title, and win a few games in the NCAAs.
The two people getting better are Hogue and McKay. Edozie is looking better, but Whar Edozie?
