Look at the Buckeyes and the Bobcats.  One team has a bevy of top 100 high school recruits.  The other, well, it just doesn't.  One team,  right now, is a front runner that folds down the stretch.  The other may dig itself into a deep, deep hole, but comes together to fight its way out.

That's the Buckeyes and the Bobcats right now.  One has more talent, the other has more toughness.  Lot's more.

If anyone watched the UC/UL game last night and listened to Cronin after the game he basically said the same thing.  He would not trade his three hard nosed and tough seniors for anybody in the country.  Maybe not the most talented (other than kilpatrick) but definitely mentally tough.

UC has more talent than they're given credit for, but the toughness factor is huge, just like OUr Cats.  To blow a big lead on the road and come back to win in crunch time is impressive.  This Bearcats team feels much like one of Huggins' early teams.  So does this Bobcats team, minus the fact that we don't have the same kind of size.
