Eamonn Brennan breaks down his thoughts and the national perception lingering on from last year pretty well. He ranked Nova #1 in the power rankings this week as well.
I also agree with the observations made in the "Big" games...we definitely play different in national audience type games. However, the Virginia game we played REALLY good offense against a tough defense...it was our defense and rebounding that failed us. I think we have fixed both since that game, and I hope that we broke the "big stage" curse once and for all in that game from an offensive standpoint.
Expect many more "doubter" and "believer" type articles over the next month!
