No doubt about that. But a team that can shoot fouls. Your defender on the star Butler PG was tremendous and really made the game yesterday. I cant see him doing that against a guy like Augustin on Texas. They guy would have to back off and get help or he would foul out and put an 80% shooter on the line. Texas Tech has a tremendous motion offense but I think SIU could handle them easy because TT is physically slow. I dont think you want to play fast penetrating guards. I would hope for that if SIU was my team in the tourney. I love their D... They can stay with anybody with that hustle and physical play. Very tough minded team and very mature.
