There was no one better than him during the NCAA Tournament.
It was the Gus Factor.
We haven’t had that moment to point at yet.
We need that moment.
Someone’s gotta step up.
Let’s get into it.

Five Storylines/Game Previews
1.
Danny Hurley magic -We know UConn has won back-to-back titles and are on a roll in this thing.
But now they are playing Florida, arguably the best team in the country.
It’s not like UConn is bad either.
I love Solo Ball’s game, you have top end talent.
People have fallen into either they love or hate Dan Hurley.
This is a game that people who hate Dan Hurley will be screaming about if they lose.
Last chance at Cinderella -It’s been talked about for the last day or two.
We don’t have one.
Colorado State or New Mexico is the last shot here and they don’t even really feel like Cinderella.
Both teams have been in the Tournament plenty, both have stars in Nique Clifford and Donovan Dent.
Both have coaches who should be at bigger jobs in Niko Medved and Richard Pitino.
But if you want this non-power conference team in the Sweet 16 we have two chances left.
What Illinois shows up -Illinois looked like a Final Four team in the first round against Xavier.
Will Riley has the ability to turn it on and just open up a game.
Now I have to deal with them in Milwaukee.
I have to deal with them while Kentucky’s Amari Williams is now hurt.
Everyone is hurt which is something I do not care for one bit.
Illinois at one point this season was a top-10 team in the country.
However, they can go cold.
Sears needs to figure out whatever has been going on.
Hasn’t shot the ball well since March 1.
He’s looked out of sorts.
