Nemesis, I just don't see how you can say Hampton has to play " flawless" to win. Hampton does need to play good but not flawless. If both teams play their best games, Hampton will win by 15+ . Hampton has the advantage at every single position on the floor except for maybe the point, and when Hughes comes in they have it there or at least break even. Hampton also has a better bench. Cloudland played flawless in the 2nd half against UH and UH went stone cold. You can say it was good defense and it was but UH missed every open look they had, several, several layups and a bunch of free throws. I was tickled to death to see them win instead of UH. If Cloudland plays like it did in the 2nd half of that game, they will be tough, but if they play like they did in the first half of that game or like they did in the first half of the Washburn game, Hampton will kill them. I would say that Cloudland is the one who needs to play flawless.
