Since I could only choose one, I chose “Peaking”.

If I could choose “all that apply”, my answer would be all except “Juggernaut”.

I agree, all but #1 apply. The tournament is just too unpredictable, but we're in as good shape as we can be.

We're peaking at the right time, but it's never over until it's over, and we're ALWAYS one injury away from disaster.

On the upside, we're as well-positioned as we possibly can be.
>Since we won last night, Baylor is in a "must win" situation to stay even (@KSU, so they'll probably be ok).
>#1 in the polls, currently holding onto the #1 overall seed, so we'll get the best bracket for us.
>Very much hitting our stride.
>Closest projected game for us is @Tech. Baylor still has Tech and @WVU. Just using Sagarin, we'll be favored by 18, 14, and 3.5 points in our remaining games. Baylor will be favored by 14, 7, 6, and right now they're actually a 1 point underdog vs. @WVU according to Sagarin's predictor. In short, we have fewer games and we're favored by more.

On the downside, we have
>Still questionable 3 point shooting. Sometimes it's "on" and sometimes it's "off".
>If Dok or Dotson go down (foul trouble or injury) it's a BIG deal. We're possibly TOO reliant on those two.

All said, however, the positives FAR outweigh the negatives. We have the opportunity. We just need to go get it.

Outside shooting is still so suspect that juggernaut is overstated.
