"One of the biggest things I see is the players are playing without looking at Tubby [Smith],'' Dutcher said. "For a couple of years you would see a guy throw the ball away, and he would look over to the bench to see if a sub was coming in.
"This now looks like a team where the players and the coach trust each other. They are playing, and if there's a turnover or two, Tubby's going with it. He's a coach with confidence in his team, and for good reason.''
Dutcher talked about Trevor Mbakwe's strength and rebounding. He talked about the abilities of Rodney Williams and Joe Coleman to slash to the basket. And then he said:
"The guys I really like are Andre and Austin Hollins. You win in college basketball with guards. That's been the case forever.
"We won the Big Ten title in '82 with Trent Tucker and Darryl Mitchell -- and if Mark Hall hadn't gotten into trouble, we could've been a Final Four team."
