Exactly, we have rarely had that surprise run, sans 03 and 96... JB gets out-coached in the tourney more so than he should... He is too good of a coach to let that happen. You can't anticipate injury's of make up for them like we've had in the past, but in most years we should walk to the sweet 16 on talent alone. Some of our strongest teams, even with favorable matchups, (05) have totally dropped the ball. We certainly don't need FF years to justify success every year, but we are also not losing to the big guys every year when we get to the tourney. Ironically we struggle a lot more with the teams we should beat, Marquette, Vermont, etc., than the big guys, Texas, Kansas and the like. Perhaps, it's a confidence thing, and we look past some of these guys.

I do want to add that I am excluding the losses to teams like Butler, who although it speaks to an excuse I hate more than anything (It was a bad matchup for us) there is something to said for teams of destiny!
