A good read.

MU's last 2 performances have been extremely impressive. If that trend continues, we have as good a chance as anyone to be playing in late March.

The author links to a story about Jae.  It seems we have Huggy to thank for Jae being eligible.  Strange.

Very complimentary.  This statement bugs me

As evidenced on Saturday, the Golden Eagles can hold their own on the block and on the glass against teams with more size and athleticism than them.

Teams may have more size than us, but not too many have more athleticism, especially now that Otule and Gardner are not playing.

Early on this season I told a couple friends I thought this was the first legitimate FF4 caliber team MU has put together since DWade's days.

Then Otule got injured.

Then Vanderbilt happened.

But, maybe some of that magic is still there.

I know the staff felt that way.

Agreed - we're incredibly athletic.  Non-athletic teams can't execute a trapping press or get the ball down court for an alley-oop slam in under two seconds.  Non athletic.  Sheeeesh.
