I'm not sure I agree after JUST one game. I do believe that it will be much, much more challenging but we STILL have a very good team. Give our troops time to regroup and learn how to play without him and they will respond much better than what they did at ND. Melo has become a very important part of our success, but he is not the absolute difference maker. With Melo, I still have a lot of concerns about going to the promise land. However, I do agree with many others, that with him, we stand a good shot at going deep in the tourney. The concern that I have had for a while (with or without Melo) is our performance in the half court because the elite teams will not allow us to run and have nearly as many easy baskets like what we have seen for most of the season. We must learn how to execute as a team in the half court set much better no matter who is on the court. 
 
With all that being said, I actually believe that our guys will respond at least tomorrow, and beat Cincy. I  believe that our guys have too much pride, confidence and talent to do nothing but win tomorrow night.  However, after tomorrow night, if we are without Melo... who knows, and I hate to think about that!
