A friend said he lost his bracket because he said he had ISU in the final. I asked why ... he said everyone was talking about them and they are hot. I made two points: first, ISU tends to play to the level of their competition; second, ISU came back from double digit deficits 5 games in a row which means they got into double digit deficits 5 games in a row. We should have always beaten UAB, but we were destined to lose a close one sooner or later in my humble opinion.
