a big key to our success

has definitely been getting an early jump on teams right out of the gate. Other than SHU we have been jumping out early on everyone and then putting the pressure on them to play catch-up against the zone. Having James start i think helps a lot in that regard as his presence requires the defense to get out on him early and allows mcw,brandon and cj room to work and get settled in early. Add to that MCW's maturation and you have an early haymaker every game from the get-go. I think these early jumps are huge in the tourney where teams are apt to panic and force/rush their shots which only allows us to increase or maintain the lead.
