Should we be worried

One thing I noticed in the big 12 tourney with this team that seemed different in years past. They were the aggressor and had this confidence about them that they could beat anyone by playing their game. We'll see.
 
I think we'll struggle against Kentucky's length and athleticism, seems like the kind of team we should beat but gives us fits. If we can get by them, I am confident we can make a run. In a chalk FF run, they are the team I would have the least confidence in us beating. Not unbeatable but they just seem like the kind of teams TJ has struggled with in the past. Hope we see them upset, I'd rather face Santa Clara's size than UK's athletes. If we get to the 2nd weekend, its on.

I can't see a TJ defensive minded team ever losing to a 15 seed but hell Virginia once lost to a 16 seed with their defense....so yeah gotta show up.

To be fair, the Jaren Holmes team had better offensive weapons than that UVA team….

That Virginia team averaged like 50 points a game on offense. The played offense like TJ's first team

If you're approaching the tournament with a "Final 4 or bust" attitude, then yes, you should be worried. There is a difference between "We're good enough to make the final 4", and "We should make the final 4".

Historical likelihood of making the Final 4 by seed:

1 - 41.3%
2- 20%
3-10.6%
4-9.4%
5-5.6%

The odds of a 2 seed making the Elite 8 are only 45%. Sweet 16 -63.8%.

It's really hard to make the Final 4.

Many “experts” have ISU as being a Final Four team, beating all other teams in the MidWest Regional. Is that going to be a jinx, I know they are good enough, but I remember the screw job against MSU and Big George’s injury. Hey CW, you need to merch ISU nut cups!

Most of those have ISU losing a third time to Arizona, so I think it more reasonable to be offended rather than worried.

I’m so confident I placed a bet on the Cyclones to win it all. This is really the first bet I’ve placed on them since the 2011 Drake game.

Taco Tech's path to the Elite 8 got a little bit easier, today. One of Alabama's top players was arrested on drug charges.

The dude with the weed? Nate will have him eligible. Life for tech got hard when they lost Toppin(?).
