Lamont Barnes, Kevin Lyde and Ronald Rollerson can get it done in the paint. Their defense makes you play ugly. This is John Chaney's best shot ever at the Final Four. When they beat Kentucky on a neutral site in Cincinnati, it opened my eyes. Tony Stanley is a key player that can go off on any team.
Experience is a factor.
Jason Hart, Etan Thomas, and Ryan Blackwell have been here before. Being healthy and getting hot at the right time would help. Their losses to UConn and Louisville don't concern me. Hart's consistency, scoring and assists are big positives. He's averaging just two turnovers a game.
