I agree with most of what you said except that Gonzaga has actually been scoring in the 80-90 range against sub par defenses, Washington and for that matter most of the Pac-10 teams play very little defense and Michigan State is still living off its reputation as a strong defensive team. This year's version has been very average if not below on the defensive side of the ball.
Oh yea and Tommie is a stud, no one should be dogging on him because he is a playmaker who can create when the offense goes cold or stagnant(which for us is fairly often)
