If they bring the team that stands around, dribbles in circles, and jacks contested threes then goodnight sweetheart...
And if A&M brings the team that was trailing by 12 with under a minute to play against UNI, we're golden. It took a perfect storm of an injury to a key player, ineptitude on UNI's part, lucky breaks, assists from the officials, and hustle by A&M for them to avoid losing that game. It was a meltdown more than a rally.
Somehow, the opposing team always gets the benefit of the doubt from our fanbase. A&M has played five games against tourney teams since Jan 1st--seven if you count the tourney games, 11 for the whole season. OU has played 14 games against tourney teams since Jan. 1 -- 16 if you count the tourney games, 19 if you count the whole season. That means we've played more games against tourney teams than against non-tourney teams.
I'm not guaranteeing a win -- anything can happen. But this team is battle-tested and has won many more games against tough opponents than they've lost. As far as I'm concerned, they've well earned our confidence. Honestly, we could be 34-0, but if some of those wins were by less than double-digits, some of our fans would be doubting our team's capabilities.
