What if...

...McNeal did not get hurt last season? He has been so huge these first two games.  Would last year have been much closer to this year, at least in the BET?  I know it's a pointless question, but I can't help but wonder.

I got scared when I saw him on the floor.  I was thinking that I don't want to watch us again in the big dance without him.  We are a way better team when he is playing well

I've said before that the game against Michigan State is completely different with McNeal.  It doesn't mean we win, but does anyone really think we go down 14-0 with McNeal in the lineup?  Anytime it seems the entire team looks flat and uninspired, McNeal looks and plays like someone in an overtime game with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
