LOL. Talk about the cardiac kids, eh? ;)

Anyway, they've clearly got talent - they just need to come out to play every time all the time, rather than thinking they can turn in on and off at will.

According to Yahoo sports, the teams are TBA, I assume the game is still ongoing or hasn't even started yet. Yahoo lists it as "Oakland/Alabama A&M", so, you can assume it's one of those two schools.

Oklahoma State Cowboys, Big Twelve Tournament Champions, 2004 and 2005.

“’I am Frank Eaton and I ought to know you, Doc Ferber, for you are one of the men who killed my father. Fill your hand! You son of a bitch!’ We both went for our guns but Doc didn’t have a Chinaman’s chance. I had been working on that draw for years, just to use at this moment.” (“Veteran of the Old West: Pistol Pete,” by Frank Eaton, Little, Brown & Company, Boston, 1952)

All teams have their Achilles Heel (or Achilles hell, I guess you could say). The weakness for the Cowboys' is they get destroyed inside by a very good big man. Sheldon Williams would absolutely kill them. Cowboy's biggest strength is outstanding guard play, which seems to match up pretty well with Illinois.

It seems Duke's is lack of depth, but I haven't seen them enough times this year to know.
