The good: Well coached. 8-2 last 10. +14.7 scoring margin. Great shooting team, especially being from a power conference. Quick and athletic. 8-5 against the field.

The bad: You've heard it before. Can't beat the ranked teams. That is lazy analysis, but for some reason it holds true. They beat the teams they should, but can't beat the really good ones. Can they get over the hump?
