I'm sure we had a couple performances last year that looked as dominating as yesterday's, and I think it is impossible to ignore the fact that X losing their most important player helped. However, I thought yesterday we came out as focused and with an attitude I haven't seen probably since our second Gtown match up last year. Even before Sumner went down, it looked clear that our guys were not going to get pushed around and the seniors in particular were setting the tone.
I have to wonder how much the combination of the now expected March swoons and seeing the likes of Xavier, Butler and Providence all ranked above us fired them up and allowed them to approach the game with something to prove. I hope they bottle this aggression and desire for the NCAA's, as I think that mental mindset will give them a huge boost against whoever they match up with.
