@Gerry Hamilton you think we can compete with a team like Duke?  They seem to just reload every year with NBA talent.

Compete ... for sure. Texas can win on the glass ... Duke's ability to attack off the deck with multiple guys would be an issue. Texas would have to deal with Duke's length on the perimeter on the wings too... but Texas is b uilt to compete with anyone this season (if healthy enough.

Duke will almost always have the most talented team in college basketball, but if having NBA level talent were everything, they would’ve made more than one Final Four appearance in the last decade and won at least two national championships.  They can be had in a single game elimination tournament just like any team if they have an off game.  Having that level of talent raises the floor of your program, but it’s not everything.

100%. Scheyer is the key, along with health. This is his most talented team 1 through 15 he's had, but it has to mesh. They don't have the super star, but they are going to be very versatile and so deep. Duke has 8-10 future NBA picks on this roster. 

NCAA Tournament is a brutal to go win 6 in a row for sure. Tom Izzo has 1 NC, in 2000, and is one of the best college coaches in my adult lifetime. Anything, but a guarantee.

Scheyer has been outcoached the last two years.  Definitely should have won it two years ago with the players he had.  Maybe he will grow into being one of the best coaches....but he's not there yet.
