Listened to a Mike Decourcy bracketology discussion yesterday.  He was looking back at winners over the last 20 years and pointed out that just about all of them had elite level point guards.  According to him, most of the popularly projected final 4 don't have great pg's.  Duke and Zaga were examples.  He mentioned that, if Illinois gets Belo back, it could be a game changer that many ranked programs don't have.

I hope it's all a factor for us, but I think guard play has been one of the 1st things to look at for quite a while. Coaching and guards more so than the bigs.

After a rocky start Trent has done a pretty good job handling the point.

I think it’s mostly Damonte handling the PG role. And doing much better as of late.

It’s kind of been by committee but yeah they’ve settled in and done pretty decent. We haven’t seen any ball pressure to speak of though.

25th in the AP. I thought Ok might get 25th after beating the Cyclones.
