"I've got Duke versus Florida in the championship game, with Florida cutting down the nets. But this Auburn team scares me. They're SO good when they bring their A game and get going."
- Coach John Brady
If any fan or analyst is remotely objective, at this point, NONE of these 4 teams cutting the nets down should be considered a real surprise.
But slipping my orange and blue shades on, I'll believe it when I see it that our dudes don't come ready to play FIERCE defense from the tipoff Saturday, and that has almost always been the juice that seems to get our shooters and offense in sensational rhythm.
We got sumpin' for Go Gatuh. I feel it.

P.S. Bonus: Brady was also polite, but seriously questioned Nate Oats' strategy against Duke. Just felt like it was obvious Duke was going to use their length, and commit defenders to shut down Sears from the 3-line. "After going 25 of 51 against BYU, I guess Nate just figured he had to keep playing it that way." Sears went 2 of 12 on FG, 1 of 5 on 3-pointers, total of 6 anemic points in the blowout game. As a team, the Tahd was 8 of 32 from deep, 25%. Duke only needed 6 of 13 3-pointers for the 20-point blowout.
