Great thread. If you wanted to pick a team that would expose our defensive weaknesses after a few weeks of play, Wisconsin would be on everyone's short list. And if you wanted to pick a team that would expose our offensive weaknesses after a few weeks of play, a team like South Carolina would fit the bill.

We needed these games. Everything's on film now. Koenig's threes, Happ's dunks and Hayes' passes are ingrained in the players' minds. This will help them identify where they need to be on defense. Offensively, the game will come easier over the next couple of weeks because they won't be facing the hard-nosed defense of SC (and Wisconsin to a lesser extent). Confidence will return. The players will be better prepared for that three-game stretch in January when we face Miami, Pitt and Virginia Tech.

I would rather lose back-to-back games now and learn from them than go into that Miami game undefeated with a feeling of invincibility that's nothing more than fool's gold. Now the players get a chance to recover and get on a roll again, so the next time they drop a game or two, they won't lose much sleep over it.

And as fans, we can stop trying to figure out how we're going to get a one or a two seed in the East. I'll take a four seed in that same region.
