[Observing]

You are cracking me up with your Tubby hatred. Indiana split with UK last season with virtually the same team. This IU team has almost a full season of additional experience under their belt but because they lost to a top 15 RPI team, which has played the toughest schedule in the country this season, you claim that they cannot possibly be the #1 team in the country.

Gonzaga has played a schedule of cupcakes and it really does not matter if they get a #1 seed or not - it is doubtful that their weak schedule has prepared them to be a real threat to take the title home. Minnesota has as good or better chance of winning the title, IMO, and they are a longshot.

When a field has no clear cut favorites, teams that have experience and great coaching rise to the top. That's where great coaches like Tubby who bring battle tested, experienced teams into the tournament shine. nicker:

You'd think that with what they had coming back, and the additions they
WOULD be a solid #1 this year. Pretty obvious they are NOT.

As for "great coach" Tubby{forgive me it took a few minutes to
dry the tears fo laughter enough to continue typing} rising to
the occasion, I'd LOVE to see him face Gonzaga in the tnmt.
It would be probably the only matchup with a guaranteed
outcome, BULLDOGS.
