Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 2733988, member: 87"] Of course the other aspect of this is that we could indeed be world beaters this year and wind up with less tournament success than we had with last year’s “bad” team. Think MSU from 2016 and last year. That would be the thing that would spawn major disappointment. My own confidence for this upcoming year is based on last year’s defensive performance. We know this team can win with defense alone, so to me the floor for this year should be at a minimum what we got last year. Add even a marginally improved offense and it should lead to at least 2 or 3 more wins. That starts putting us in good seed range and so on. I feel it is totally reasonable to expect the same defense and at least a 10% better offense. If I am wrong I am more likely to be estimating low than high. [/QUOTE]
