I'm impress with how Josh is coaching this team and how the players now are responding.

I agreed. The intangibles are the key. This team hasn't shown yet that it has the "it" factor. But it is getting close. The last two wins show how close they are.

At least statistically, IU and Florida appear to be head and shoulders better than the rest of the field.

As well as Miami.....they're good so is Michigan State

And Florida got spanked by a pretty mediocre Arkansas team. Granted it was at Bud Walton, but Arkansas sped the game up and controlled the entire game and blew them out. And just for reference Arkansas turned around and lost to Vandy by 18 in their very next game.

That's the reason why Pastner is very consistent with what he says......

As well as each and every game is unique and is a separate entity.....There is No possible way to try to judge or predict how a team is going to perform on any given night....by How they played or what the score was against other teams!!!!! It's NOT possible....does not relate or compute......

But WE as fans LOVE to generalize; apothesize or ASSume that that's the way IT goes......REALLY, It ONLY exemplifies how simplistic WE can become.....And I'm pretty sure that Josh's job is NOT as simple as WE ALL make it out to be!!!!

RE: Contender or Pretender?
Nice article. Thanks.

Imho, I agree. We're not a pretender, but I think the intangibles probably limit us to a sweet 16. That's nothing but guesswork and hunches on my part, but who knows?

And a sweet 16 aint bad at all.

INTANGIBLES! Will this team be able to handle the pressure in March? It's a new level of basketball. Kids don't wanna go back to being just students.
