YEP! We have enough weapons and ways to win that effort and confidence are more important than strategy and execution. I said at the half we would win the game and do so at the foul line. We have three great foul shooters and three great penetrators, make enough threes to spread the floor and attack on defense and it will rattle even the most composed teams in the country.

This teams biggest problem all year has been a lack of confidence, the dome crowd has been terrible all year. With a fragile team like this, it's the crowd's job to get the players believing in themselves during the early part of the year so they have the confidence to win on the road.

I believe some of this comes down to pricing strategy in the dome. The more expensive the afternoon is in the dome the less likely you will probably have patient dedicated fans in the stands. They are impatient and entitled, just like the scholars the university is releasing to the world every year. I really do believe this team is easily a top 20 team talent wise, I just think they were fragile from a leadership standpoint.

JB and crowd have probably been too spoiled to will the team to early victories. Kansas just closed a 51 game streak of home court victories, they didn't do this on talent alone. The crowd was great today and the team matched the effort of the crowd almost in unison.
