i know a lot of us think we'll hit six and we have a good shot for sure...

But what do you think we need to pull it off that this team might need to tweak or improve a little?

For me it's as simple as Harry continues his surge he's having.

Allen has to be the good version. Duke is never better than when that dimension is present as well. It makes them incredibly difficult to guard.

And secondly, continued improvement defensively. The 2015 was never better defensively at any point in the year than they were in the six games of the tournament, and the current group needs to follow the same script.

Just look what has plagued us all year. Failure to put teams away. We have the talent, the coach and the experience of champions who've done this before. Play within the framework of what we are capable of and when we are at our best I like our chances vs anyone. Focus.

We need to allow fewer points than we score in the next 6 games. :)

If this team plays a little defense plus Giles playing the way he has or better. We will cut down the nets. No one can stop us from scoring, it's just too many weapons.

Defense. Defense. Defense. Defense wins games. I don't care what anyone says but if you stop the other team on a few drives and can score on those misses, you win. Limit second chance points. When they get a double digit lead...keep pouring it on. Don't make silly turnovers and if you're gonna foul, foul hard.

Huffy hit it. Grayson is the key. If he leads us, we can win. Solid play from him and the rest falls right into place.

Seems like all championship teams have 3 scorers. Kennard and Tatum have been steady but my opinion is Allen is the key. The energy seems to be better when he's good. #3 for #6

^ This.

The only thing I would add, it's obvious but true, we have to hit shots. We score a ton from the perimeter and that has to keep up because it's our strength. We have guys that can finish in the paint, but we still need to hit perimeter shots.

Pretty much all of them have been touched on already....but I'll participate anyway.

1) Grayson. We need the best version of this young man.
2) Defense. We've been better the last few weeks. Now we need to be even better than we have been.
3) Win the lines. We have to own the three-point line and the FT line.
4) No turnovers. Obviously, turnovers will happen, but it's the unforced one's that drive me insane.
5) Duke. Play for the name on the front of the jersey...not the back.

It's almost time.

Luke, Amile, and Matt being consistent, known quantities (and I'll throw in Frank as someone whose role is pretty defined), I'll go w/ these:
1. Jayson's continued emergence as a potential superstar at the next level
2. Grayson's A game
3. Harry's increased production
