Resetting the Altimeter (Expectations)

[TexanMark]

How high can this team fly?

I thought a 6 seed was best case...I think a 4 seed seems plausible now.

Lots of hoops, the January Swoon and the always expected drama has to be played out...but this team could make the 2nd weekend in the NCAAs.

I hope Coach can play a few more kids...and the team stay injury free and keep the losing streaks to a minimum...

we are just as flawed a roster as we were 2 days ago, but now we will be a ranked, flawed team with upside.

What we did was make is make it so to get to the Tournament, we need to go .500 in the league, and win at least 7 other Non Conference games. That is big because this is the kind of team that can get hot for a month and win a title.

Best case is a 3 seed. I think we could be as bad as the 8/9 game. We already have OOC wins vs. UConn, and Texas A&M; I think we probably split with Wiscy/GTown. Those are 3 good OOC wins plus that ACC schedule.

Couldn't agree more. When's the last time we had the type of team that could do that? I feel like since 2010 we've been so dependent on the zone shutting down everyone. I think this year we can get hot and run through the regionals.

definitely. the last few years for us to make the f4 and win it all we'd have to win 4 or 5 straight rock fights (after the 1st round blowout), thats hard to do. the 2013 team managed to win 4 rock fights but couldnt beat michigan in that type of game. this should be the type of team that can win multiple games scoring in the 70s and 80s come march, something the last few teams had no chance of doing.
