If we are an 8/9 seed, our season end next weekend.
I've been thinking this but reconsidering.
If the 1's are Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan and illinios and the 2's are OKst, OHst, iowa and Alabama.
Which group's gat would you rather draw our opponent? I'm not so sure I wouldn't prefer Gonzaga/Baylor/Illinois over OKSt/OSU
I think we would have a decent chance agaisnt Gonzaga/Baylor/Iowa/Bama. I'd like to avoid OkSt and the other B1G teams.
But I do believe this team can beat anyone with an efficient game. We don't need to be 85 Nova to make a deep run. A 2014 Uconn that figures it out at the right time. Need Bouk to be Bouk, Cole to be Boat, someone to hit open 3"s and keep the bigs out of trouble.
Can they? Fron what I've seen since Bouk came back, yes. This team is much better than before he got hurt, just avoid leaks. They don't need to do it 6 times, I don't have those expectations. Win two games to cement that we are back, and I'll be very happy.
A firsr round loss would be very dissatisfying, a second round loss would seem like a missed opportunity.
