Oh well NIT is bs anyway

On to the NC -4

South Florida is a team possessed right now, and defensively, I put them in the Top 5 teams remaining in the entire NCAA tourney, with Kentucky, North Carolina, FSU, and Syracuse.  The Bulls are athletic and strong, and absolutely tenacious.  Did you SEE what they did to Temple and Cal already this tournament?  Ohio is not as good offensively as Temple, and the Owls looked bewildered in the second half.  In the play-in game, USF held Cal, a similarly talented team to Ohio, to just 13 points.

And USF is better than they get credit for offensively as well.  They do not have a singular offensive star, but that balance suits them well, especially in the hustle-to-scout your opponent nature of the NCAA Tournament.  For example, I don’t need to watch a lot of film to know that if I shut down Doug McDermott than Creighton is screwed.  Likewise for Lehigh’s CJ McCollum.  Defending South Florida?  With seven guys averaging between 9.6 and 6.7 points, there really is no focal point to build a strategy.  The only real plan is to not allow them to offensively rebound.  With Ohio’s athletic and depth disadvantages, I don;t see that happening tonight.  Give me South Florida to continue to justify their inclusion in the Field, and advancing on to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.

 i don't play every game.
