Wherever I go, there I am.
Isn't it amazing how winning two games against double digit seeds makes all the warts go away?

I love how Tuco makes fun of ISU beating a 12 and a 13 (total of 25) but doesn't think anything of his team beating a 16 and a 9 (total of 25). Dude, nearly everyone in the Sweet Sixteen had an easier than usual road to the second weekend.

He's lucky they didn't have to play Wichita State like last year.

Awesome! Thank you. How bout x's and o's? The post above yours said you run a lot of pick and roll? Is the offense based on anybody's offense who I'd have heard of? What do you guys do defensively?

Offense is a lot of pick and roll and isolations for Niang. Besides that we shoot a lot of corner 3's and Niang to McKay alley-oops, but not sure how the latter will work against UVA style defense.

Defense is about 80% mediocre man to man, 20% 2-3 zone. Thomas (6-4) is the best defender (was normally put on Hield and did decent job in 2 of 3 games), Morris is decent when he wants to be, and McKay blocks some shots.
