Hmm - 9:00 is maize and blue, followed by black and gold, blue and orange, red and white, crimson and cream, maroon and gold, scarlet and grey...nope, can't imagine what that would signify at center court of the Big Ten Tournament.

More than either the defense or offense getting better, I think this team needs to get its swagger back in order to make a run in the dance.  Outside of Trey and McGary, the rest seem unsure out there, with GRIII the most shellshocked.

It is too late for the defense to make a big step forward.  Getting the swag back and concentrating on boxing out for rebounds can get this team to the Final Four.

Speaking of rebounds: I loved the growling by McGary and Horford when they ripped the ball away on rebounds in the second half.

Pat Chambers can handle a handshake line with a hell of a lot more class than Tom Crean can.  He looked like he had very respectful, brief conversations with both John Belein and coach Meyer.

No, but that's deceptive given where we've been seeded.  We were a #10 seed in 2009 and won our first game (a mild upset) before losing a competitive game against #2 Oklahoma.  Then in 2011 we were a #8 seed and won what was theoretically a 50-50 game by 30 points, before that heartbreaker against #1 Duke.  Last year was the only time we really underperformed.
