SDSU opens as 5-point favorites
Told dtm earlier that I thought it would be somewhere between 4 - 6 points. The number is lower than it typically would be because of a.) ACC's performance in the Big Dance, b.) our dismantling of South Carolina last night. All that said, we are definitely playing our best basketball of the year right now. Both the Houston game and the one last night were complete team efforts. Lot of it is due to Adam Smith and Marcus playing lights out, but I don't remember the last time our offense has looked this good, and it has supplemented by spurts of really good defense, and we have owned the boards.
Without a doubt, the crowd will be lit tomorrow night, but our guys are not going to be intimidated at all. I look for us to play with poise and to give ourselves a chance to win it. That said, it will be really tough. Someone above mentioned Fisher and his coaching ability. Great point, he is an excellent strategist and he will come up with a game plan to slow MGH and Adam. We will need contributions from a lot of guys, but if we keep playing for each other and have fun in the process, then we will have an above average shot at the upset.
Our boys are FINALLY playing with some belief!!
