It's all about getting hot at the right time.

I love Frank Martin.

Me too. I love his tough love approach and I think he's a big ole teddy bear under that gruff exterior. And he's certainly an intimidating presence on the sidelines.

And they got a better bracket than the team that won the conference regular season and SEC tourney.

They beat duke. Wasn't an easy opponent.

True, but they were placed in the overall #1's region with Duke as their 2nd. On paper, they should have been killed.

Hard to say they got a better bracket when they beat a 2 and 3 seed to get to the Elite 8.

22 pt lead now. This is d-u-n.

A 2 seed that never should have been a 2.
While we play a 3 seed that probably could have been a 1 IMO.

Bracket matrix had them as the #5 overall team and they led the country in quality wins. I don't disagree with you about UCLA, but it's not fair to call USC's bracket "weak."

He was resting his players for the tournament that matters?
