Punched in the mouth

Can't argue with that.  When we're not having an A game is the problem.   Sure, we can usually still squeak by the St. Johns' & Thomas' of the world when we don't, although not always (Butler at Home), but not against anyone in the top 10.  We had A games against IL, KU, TX & Creighton.   I'll even throw in the Purdue game, but WI, Seton Hall and Providence were complete duds.  Granted WI is top 10 but SH & Providence are mid pack in our conf.  The UCLA game could have easily gone the other way.   I'm very glad it went our way, but if it didn't we wouldn't have the KU W.  Look they're not going to win every game.  Very few teams ever have, but in order to win the tournament, you need to have 6 A Games in a row which is really hard to do.  Like everyone else, I want us to be truly elite.  There's a big difference between Top 3 and the rest, and I just don't think we're yet.  We're too guard heavy and too often, it shows.

Of course don't forget when we don't have our A game, we may be playing a team that is also not having an A game.  So we don't necessarily need 6 A games to win it all.

Define "deep"?

I don't see it going deeper than the round of 16, honestly. A second round exit would not shock me, with how inconsistent the shooting and rebounding tend to be.
