Surreal to see them all praising us. But I think they're just recognizing what a lot of us have thought at various points this year: This team has all the ingredients of a Final Four team, if they could somehow figure out how to keep those ingredients together for more than one game. I actually kinda feel good about our chances this weekend. If we can find a way to get past the Hoosiers on Friday, who knows? I'd love to see what we could do with Hansbrough. OK, so maybe I'm on what Gillipie's on. But ultimately, all these SEC coaches' comments are fairly low-risk, high-return. If Arkansas does make a run, these guys look like prophets; if we don't, nobody's gonna remember what they said. Well, it’s not just Gillispie on dope, it’s Kennedy and Pearl and Stallings, too.
