Teams can play their best against Hartford or Duke.

Kentucky played their best game of the season (IMO) against Indiana. Now I know IU is just an average team, but Kentucky did there job the entire game and played outstanding in a hostile environment. But it just so happens that Syracuse lost to Pittsburgh, the same team who lost to Indiana.

Point is, you can play at your best against any level of competition.

Then I would take Syracuses dominating performance against UNC @ UNC. Syracuse completely dominated a mediocre team on their home court with all the lights and cameras as one of the first showdowns of the college season. They beat a UNC team by 16 at UNC and the game wasn't even that close. This is the same UNC team that lost to UK by 2 at UK. So, who and where does make a difference????
