In tuning into radio and TV today, there are a few things I've noted that seem to make a good tournament team, besides having a damn good guard or scorer that gives a team the shot at a Sweet 16, or Elite Eight.  Those three things are in the Subject.  Tennessee had a PG that didn't commit a TO in 89 min over 3 games.  UD had a bench that outscored Stanford 34-2.  And I don't have stats, but I refuse to believe that you win big games while missing free throws.

My point is that winning teams have two of these four: they either have a good bench, good free throw shooting, win the turnover battle, or have guards/wings that make things happen.

I just think of Bobcat teams during DJ's time, and they didn't always do all of those things, but they had good guards, and they created turnovers often.

Fair assessment to me.

Good FT shooting is often overlooked by players these days.  It isn't as exciting as making 3s, but FTs are the easiest ways to score points.  Against Dayton, Stanford missed their first five or six FTs in the second half.  If they had made only 60% of them they wouldn't have had to foul so much down the stretch.  It was a four or five pt game until Stanford had to gain possessions by fouling.
