I think they are the type of team that you either believe in, or you don't and that is summed up by picking them to win the 5-12 matchup, or not. If Kansas wasn't there as a Sweet 16 matchup, I think they start to make waves, but I think Kansas will be too tough of an out for them.

I hope you're right because Kansas is a bit worried about Michigan State looming there for us in the Sweet 16 precisely because of Izzo. If you can take all aspects of the college coaching that don't include recruiting, he's the best in the business and it may not even be close. His teams always play above their talent level, are always prepared, and is a good gameday coach. Of course, recruiting is part of the total coaching package in college and he's not on the level of some of the elite recruiters but he's one hell of a coach.
