For some strange reason, I've had faith this year - all year - that this talent would eventually figure it out and we would make a run in the tournament. So far, so good.
Also, in a strange way, I'm glad we didn't bring our A game on Friday and we still found a way to win. I think we all knew facing Boeheim's matchup would be difficult ESPECIALLY if we struggled to hit shots...and we struggled to hit shots.
KU's Achilles heal has been its defense all year long. With our improved defense and our incredibly potent offense - as well as ability to play inside out - I feel really good about today's matchup and our chance to get to K's record-setting 13th final four. We have too much size, athleticism and rebounding ability inside and I'm confident Grayson and Gary will find their shots again against KU.
We're the most talented team in basketball this year - and we've finally started playing like it. I know that doesn't get you very far, especially with such young talent, but we've done it before with freshman and I just have a hunch, we're going to do it again - but one game at a time.
Today's game is slated for a 5:05 est tip and will air on CBS. Duke opened at -3.5 but has fallen slightly to three on the latest line. I think we win, and cover, in a tight one.
