mean they can beat anyone but playing in the B12 these games just feel like more of an extension of conference play.

Maybe its my own perception, but in years past it felt like they were intimidated by the bigger names and that was part of the reason they were always so tight starting out in the tourney.

But now it seems, at least for the team, this is just another game against another quality opponent like they saw all during conference play.

They might not win Thursday but I don't think it's because they feel the moment is too big for them.
