I've seen the Bruins four different times this year and I've seen Alabama, I guess, five. If (Jean) Felix can shoot like he did (Thursday) and the whole team play that well, I'm kind of picking Alabama to beat them.

It's certainly interesting, isn't it?

I think Rod had some good players in there, and Andy will get some good players in there also. I think they will be competitive quickly.

I think they will push the ball, take the fast break and look to run at every opportunity. It won't be a wild running situation. They will be very deliberate. They will play a lot of man-to-man and will be a solid defensive team.

That was the best performance I've ever seen. Ever.

But Ben, don't ever doubt — he's not following Steve Lavin. He's following coach Wooden.
