Everybody else plays in NBA, NHL or municipal arenas. I really think there's a big plus to that. We got tested more by Southwest Missouri. Spoon was at Southwest Missouri. We were like sleepwalking and almost lost that damn game. At the time, I think when we beat UNLV and Indiana, it was the two worst losses for those two teams in the NCAA. They had never gotten beat like that.

We were just cooking. We were down 18 to Duke in the first half and came back. Robert Brickey got hurt. It was a big factor in the game. Brickey got hurt on a baseline drive, got a Charlie horse and never came back in. And that really hurt Duke. I thought we were fine. I mean, we were ready to go. I thought we had been tested.

I think that game is going to help Florida immensely because it was a team not from their league. I'm sure that I didn't, I haven't looked at, I'm sure they had five games this year in the, in the sec where they were like, you know, one possession games are damn close to it at the end. But they're tested. There's no question. I think that's the big advantage.

All 16, you could say Duke to a slightly lesser extent, but that's splitting hairs. I mean, yeah, the ACC is down, but the ACC is still pretty good. You don't want to make a living playing all those guys in the ACC if you're any other conference but the top four. So these teams are all tested.

But I do think somewhere in the tournament, there's got to be one of those nights your best player gets in foul trouble, rolls an ankle, Whatever the hell, you just have a shooting night. St. John's has shooting nights like that all the time. But usually they could overcome it with their offensive rebounding or turnovers. They couldn't do that against Arkansas. I'm a real strong believer in that.

And I do think the teams that have survived one of those, it really helps. So I think it's a big factor for Florida. I don't think it's going to help them against Maryland. I think they better lace it up and be ready to play because Maryland's legit. And those two kids, Queen and Juju are unbelievable. I'm talking about Juju. How about what happens to USC on the women's side?

I mean, that's one of the things that it happens more in the NBA every year. Some key player on a good team goes down and everybody forgets. that the team that wins the whole thing in June was one of the luckiest or the luckiest team relative to injuries. USC goes for what? Odds on to win the whole thing? I know they're still good, but come on.
