Exactly, that is why the tourney is so unique in comparison to the NBA playoffs and MLB playoffs. You must come with your game plan and execution in order each night or you will get beat and it will be over..... I know that every team will have teams that sneak up on them through out the season, UK it was Miami and South Carolina, Kansas it was Cornell and Northern Iowa, Duke it was NC st and Miami. Every game helps prepare you fro how the end of the year will be and should help the team to realize that you can not just squeak by or play a better game once the tourney hits.

I can agree with that...But there was alot more teams snuck up on UK than the others...not knocking UK or anything, but they were so young but found a way to win...I mean sam houston st. i think ws another team that snuck up on them...Thats what makes college basketball though...I was talking to an old man today that wanted to get rid of cal! He said with 5 lottery picks in the NBA and he cant even get them to the final four, thats sad...lol...thats UK basketball for ya though
