how tough the conference we played in this year is, or don't know how playing game after game vs that type of competition either beats a team down, or forges them into a confident, tough, relentless squad. We played several games with a couple key guys out with injuries. We played the # one team in the country tough twice, a one possession game and a hard loss at their place. We beat several top ten teams and currently have the longest winning streak in the sec.
Honestly, I don't care about seeding, or who we play. We are completely battle tested and peaking at the right time. Defense is the most important factor in tournament play. Teams generally don't have time to prepare for their next team, or what scouting stuff is available is limited. Shooting, turnovers and rebounding are important, but playing great D is what gets it done. We are very good to excellent defensively, especially at this point.
I respect a lot of coaches and teams, but matchups blah, blah, blah. I am not scared of playing any of them. Our fate is in our hands. How we play will be decisive most of the time.
