Basketball reminds me of football under Wiggin, where we were pretty mediocre overall, but every once in a while we would rise up and smite someone good, like Ohio State or Oklahoma (or Washington when they were ranked #1). You are happy for the victory, but you can't help wondering why we can't do it more often.

Exactly.  The boys played their hearts out last night, and more often than not they did so as a team and not a collection of individuals.  Leaves me wondering a) where this team has been all year, and b) can they back it up.  A great win, but like the Sweet 16 it's one (two) great games amidst a season of inconsistency & mediocrity.  Let's see if they can win their next couple of games.  Remember that this team's best conference winning streak is one.
