Especially in tournament play. We look to be in better shape than a lot of the teams we have played coming down the stretch.

It helps having a deep team. 
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

The problem with the tournament is all the tv timeouts hurts our uptempo style

This is where the spreading of minutes pays off.  NCAAT will be different as opponents aren't playing back to back days or 3-4 days straight.  But we will have more options and less wear on our key players than most.

This is where I think the biggest adjustment was made during our recent run. Instead of running the other team with our press, we are pushing the ball hard nearly every possession from defense to offense.

It puts us in a better rhythm and gasses the other team more than the press because it forces them to sprint full speed the length of the court. Unlike the press that can only be set up after a make, we can push the ball on every possession.

I think that, playing like we are now, we can beat anyone seeded 16 through 3. The problem is we will probably brave to play a 1 or 2 to get to the sweet 16.

Kentucky is likely a 2 seed. Let's see how we match up against them tomorrow.

I think we may get in the 8-9 and get a shot at Gonzaga in second round, Mike upset Kentucky at UAB after winning the 8-9 game

I recall the start of the second half and one of the announcers made a quick side comment that this season the Hogs had been a second half team.  While I thought they played a solid first half, they simply smoked the first 12-14 minutes of the second half.

without going back and digging it up again, right now, historically CMA has had a very good record vs. coach cal.

mike beat him while he was at UAB, Mizzou, & Arkansas.

CMA may have the best W/L record of any active coach vs. Calapari with > 4 match ups.

all roads to SEC title & NC run thru lexington now.

gotta have a coach that can beat cal to go all the way.

do it again today!

if you can beat UK w/wo Cal, you know you can beat anybody... it's who they are...

I believe MAs record against coach Cal teams is 6 and 9.

thanx for pinning that down, higgie

i think 3 of those losses came the past two seasons, so coming in to 15-16 CMA was 6-6 vs. cal?

I feel great against teams teams outside of the top 8-10 or so in the country right now. Seems to still be quite a distance from us to that top tier. We could still win of course for all the reasons everyone said above.
Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.

Coach cal is an above average coach that gets great talent. I would take a lot of coaches over him to coach the same talent he gets. His team usually gets beat when they face a veteran team or just a better coach.

He has a great resume because on paper he has the best players every year.

Arkansas has last the last 4 against Kentucky. Coming in to the 14-15 season, he was 6-5 against Cal.
