Think it naturally depends upon the team and circumstances. Sometimes, it's the mental fatigue that ends up being the difference in the end when it finally catches up with a team.

Regardless, pretty impressive and some good resilience from the Wolfpack after losing four straight to fall to 17-14 and dead in the water, seemingly. Now, as the #11-seed in the South Region, they are headed to Dallas and have turned around the season over the last two weeks - so, it CAN happen.

Thought Oakland had their chances down the stretch but failed to convert. Burns is coming up BIG lately.

Consecutive wins now over:

Louisville
Syracuse
Duke
Virginia
North Carolina (ACC Tournament Championship)
Texas Tech (#6 in South Region)
Oakland (#14 in South Region)

With all of that - IF they face Marquette, I think the run ends, perhaps abruptly. However, you never know for sure until they play the game.

Shades of 83, my guess is we’ll hear about that this week.

I agree on Marquette. With Kolek they are a different team.
