I think we are watching something really special with this years team and I hope all you Cats fans are taking the time to relish what we see on the court this year, because to be quite honest,,,, we may never see this again. This is a once and a lifetime team with depth of talent, and experienced leadership in WCS and the Twins, and even Alex from behind the scenes. The fiercest competition these guys see is in practice. So how do they stay up for the games knowing they are superior to every team they come against? This is where it gets REALLY special. These guys are competing against themselves in every game, not necessarily the team thats on the court. This is something akin to what we saw from the 96 team who judged themselves on how much they outscored their opponents,,, this team is just going the other way,,, with the most intense defense college basketball has ever seen. Each game they come out to see how low they can hold their opponent and it is compared to what they have done before. This may be what has made the platoon system so effective as they can compete against each other within the game in this way. Even when they are playing on the other platoon this still seems to be the goal. They held UCLA to 7 in the first half,,, now their goal will be to hold a team to 2 halves of 7,,, I truly believe they come out each half with the ultimate goal of holding a team to nothing for each half. This internal competition also enables them to stay focused on one game at a time,,, making 40 and 0 very conceivable. Enjoy this team folks,,,, its a once in a lifetime thing were seeing here. Enjoy each and every game. Because you may never see something like this again, and personally, I want my head filled with as much as I can remember about this special year,,,, and a very special team.
