I love it - crazy hard non con schedule for a big dog in college bb.

What happened. Did the stars just align was this by design?

Someone else can answer this better, but from what I understand Tommy realized he needed to toughen us up after Princeton, and that includes the schedule. Final 4 being in Phoenix probably played a large factor as well.

Too many years of Sean Miller scheduling directional and religious schools.

Only thing that did was to make players think they were better than they were, Nico Mannion for one.

Amen! I love the fight in Tommy and I love the uptempo pace of his offense.
I will see you there, or I will see you on another time
