So I was watching the game this afternoon and was reminded of the reasons why we lost the games early on in the season that we did. We played absolutely terribly today. This was not the same team that has gone on a tear over the last two months--these guys were tired, confused, and downright lost.
If they hope to advance beyond Murray State, they better start playing like the team that beat Purdue and Iowa on the road instead of the team that lost to Purdue at home and Providence on the road. My absolute pipe dream final game would be Illinois beating Kansas by a landslide. Unfortunately I don't think either team is capable of making it to the Sweet 16, let alone the finals.
At least there is pleanty of basketball to be watched over the next few weeks... I think I am going to get the March Madness DirecTV package so that I can choose (in most circumstances) the games I want to watch--not rely on CBS's market madness.
