1)  Mental Toughness
2)  Strong on the court Leadership

It's easy to get hyped up and play your heart out when you're at home in front of 18,000 screaming fans.  Great teams don't go into Miss State and Auburn and show up flat.  They have the ability to create their own energy, a never die attitude and the belief that they are going to win.  Great teams can't play down to their competition (Miss State) or allow themselves to not show up for a half (Auburn). 

This team may have it in them, but I haven't seen it yet with any consistency.  We should never hear "we came out sluggish" from a team that is going to be a serious contender in the NCAA tournament.  Half of this is on MA and the other half is on the players.
