*** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

I won't lie Kentucky has me a bit nervous. An underperforming but Uber talented and athletic team that gets up and is motivated in the big dance against a 2 seed. Really need to come out and punch them in the mouth and not let them get confident. Make it miserable for them and they will quit.
 
Anything can happen in the tournament, but the way TJ runs his program I don’t feel as worried about getting upset.
He makes sure his guys don’t overlook anyone; if we do lose it’s because we had a bad shooting night and/or the other team went on a heater.

Looking at our tourney losses under Otz:

Miami: Team finally ran out of gas after overachieving all year. We were ecstatic with a S16 appearance with the win over WI.

Pitt: Offensively limited team had a horrible shooting game and lost. Frustrating, but I wouldn’t say it was a lack of preparation.

Illinois: IL was a good opponent that played a great game. And we still had a chance near the end.

Ole Miss: Our guard injuries finally caught up to us. Love Kelderman and how he stepped up last year, but watching him try to guard Pedulla was painful. Frustrating in the moment, but understandable looking back.

I’ll be nervous before each game. Then I’ll see TJ hulked up on the sideline and immediately feel better.
