The number one reason why we win this game: Roy Williams.

Players feed off their coach's demeanor. Williams doesn't handle pressure well, so his players don't handle pressure well. They don't really win close games.

Williams refuses to adjust to the zone. He said it himself (paraphrasing), "We don't take what you give us, we take what we want." I don't think he's won three in a row against us because he figured out the zone. I think he's won three in a row based on talent alone, not unlike the tournament game with Kansas in 2001. This game should be close because Williams will stubbornly try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

I get the feeling Williams will retire after the season, in part because of his health and in part because of the impending sanctions. I believe it will weigh heavily on his mind in the second half and I don't think he will respond well to it.

Williams coached his last game at Kansas against us. Let's send him into retirement.

This will be my last post before the game, for an obvious (or maybe not-so-obvious) reason.
