I don't think there is a clear-cut favorite. The strength of our league is parity. There is any one of seven or eight teams that could win this tournament, get hot and win three or four in a row. It's going to come down to making plays at the end of the game and executing in the crunch.

We don't want them to take for granted that there's a lot of support for Bradley basketball. So many people commented on how they stood the entire game. I didn't see that from the Kansas fans. I didn't see that from the Pitt fans. Our fans gave us fire. I want our guys to acknowledge it. I didn't tell them to go into the stands. They took that on their own.

Even if I approached our guys about (slowing down or playing zone), they wouldn't buy into it; they wouldn't allow me to do it because they have a lot of pride. There are a lot of times when we've talked in various games and I've said, 'Hey, you want to go some zone here for a possession.' Every time, they say, 'No, Coach. Put it on us. We'll guard them.' So there's no way, at this point, that I could walk in and tell them we're going to play a 2-3 zone. They would ban me.
