In particular, Keita, Mag and Stewart.

Those three guys consistently set the tone on toughness and defense and has become contagious.

Probably my favorite, other then Keba getting heated at the end) wasas when whoever it was on Wisconsin who tried to intimidate and bump Egor under the basket. He didn't back down and the next time down the floor, hit a three.

At times last year. BYU would get pushed around and they wilted. This was very evident in the first round last year.

Not this year (except against Houston). They have not backed down to anyone and havev proved to be the tougher team time and time again.

And it starts with those three guys. They just go out and play tough-as-nails on defense and on the boards. Last year only Stewart was on the team. And he was buried on the bench. But with the two additions and the emergence of Stewart, I love how tough this team is.
