disrupted either fought game gone incredible offense team teams
No team has disrupted our half-court offense as much as Washington. It was an incredible game by two teams who fought with everything they had. I don't think either team could have gone another minute.

Some teams in their position are scared by the NCAA tournament. They were inspired by it.
four games people season surprised teams
I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't see some different teams in the semifinals than what people are predicting. And I wouldn't be surprised to see someone play four games in four days. That's just the way this season has gone.
