I don't consider it one bad game. They played 1 team in the top 25 all year, and won by if I remember correctly 5, then blown out by an unranked team by 20, they were down by 37 at one point in that game. They played a 5-22 team and a 7-22 team this year, one of them twice.

I'm just not sure, they played a very poor game, a very weak schedule, and play in a pretty weak conference. They haven't proven to anyone they are the powerhouse the writers think they are. It was the worst loss by a #1 team to an unranked team in NCAA history.

Best backcourt in the nation? Nah. One of the best, absolutley. The most talented, probably. But, your absolutley right about the guards in the NCAA Tournament, and I woulden't bet against the St. Joe's guards. But even then, I'm just not sure how good they'll be against a good pressing team like Duke.
