There is a confidence this year that certainly wasn't there a year ago. Last year's squad went into panic mode once the shot clock went below 10 seconds. This year they get a good shot just about every time the shot clock runs down. Good coaching and good guard play. The value of experienced guards is really being shown with the Badgers.

But you're right. There does seem to be a level of maturity and consistency about this team that wasn't there previously, as evidenced by last year's 6 game losing streak. And I don't get the sense that they've peaked yet. Their lack of size may still come back to haunt them but it affects them less than it would other teams because of the system they run.
