With it, the Wildcats could easilyrunthroughthe threegames andlock up theautomatic berthin theNCAA tournament thatcomes with winning the championship. Without that confidence,though, the Wildcats stay could easily be muchshorter. After Saturday's toughloss, the Wildcats willtry to avengethe earlier loss to the Paladins and createthatconfidence andmomen- tum tocarry into the weekend.
