There are several teams that could step up and win it all. Northwestern was picked to win it, and they (the Demons) have been pretty impressive, but some other teams have been impressive, too.
If we ever decided to make free throws, it would've been a different game. When we had chances to either tie or go ahead, we would go 1-for-2 at the line at best. Seventeen-for-30 isn't going to win any games for you.
