Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2447430, member: 716"] Yeah, they started the year with high expectations (that was the aircraft carrier opener, I think) but then lost to Temple and kind of had a rough patch where the offense wasn't evolving, pace was slow, and Southerland got suspended (and then was really lost when he returned). But, as you say, the Final Four was not a fluke at all. They earned those ten losses (Michael Carter-Williams kind of forgot how to play point guard during the meet of the conference schedule, starting with his crazy meltdown at Villanova), but then Southerland started to hit shots and the group came together defensively at the right time and got a [U]phenomenal[/U] draw when Indiana was the one seed in the East. [U]Phenomenal[/U]. The whole thing really comes down to matchups. Butler = bad. Indiana = terrific. [/QUOTE]
