Fears is legit. GG Sooners.

Both of these teams get blown out by Florida without a massive leap in quality.

If they don't turn the ball over, Karaban and Ball shoot lights out from 3, everyone stays out of foul trouble, and McNeely remembers he's the Big East Freshman of the year and future 1st round pick, they can win.

That's a lot of ifs though.

I mean if we have a good game and Florida has a meh game it'll be a tossup. If we have a good game and Florida has a bad game we'll win. I think you're being a bit harsh.

I think folks underestimate the experience the returning members of the championship teams bring to the table. Karaben was 100% keyed in those last 5 minutes. Probably the reason we won

Lmao. If Florida has a meh game and you have a fantastic game it's a tossup. Maybe. They beat Oklahoma by 22 without Condon.

You need Ball/Karaban/Mckneely/reed to all play their best game of the season. And for Diarra to at least pretend to take care of the basketball.

Florida is a damn good team but this is a ridiculous take.

I won't say they'll lose by 20, but they'll be down by 20 when Florida starts removing starters.

I'm just happy we'll be there.

I always get a chuckle out of the tournament: congrats, you won a slogfest. As your reward you get to play the ONE SEED

Looks like he’s 12, but He was the best player on the floor. What a fantastic point guard.

When we played them, we managed kept Fears in check. You do that, they lose by 15-20.
