Message: [QUOTE="Gonzo, post: 1715160, member: 814"] Usually when a low seeded team makes a deep Tourney run, it is because they got on a hot shooting streak that eventually turns cold before the tourney is over. But while SU has had timely shooting the past two weeks, it certainly has not been "hot." It has won because of tougher D, much improvement in rebounding and free throw shooting, and reduced turnovers. Until the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, SU generally held even against top teams only to fade down the stretch. The past two games we turned it on in crunch time and upped our game. In essence, we are not riding a one-trick pony. Our whole game has broadened and moved up to a new level. This is critical when assessing our odds for the rest of the tourney and is a very positive for next year. If the team can now manage to summon hot shooting hands, we could prove to be the tough Final Four out [/QUOTE]
