Unfortunately, I’m not the guy to bring you good vibes. I ‘m not quite as pessimistic about Texas winning the tournament if , as I assume, you mean the SEC tournament. We both play a rather ugly brand of basketball that makes us pretty even but may leave us a “home away from home” advantage.
I also see us suffering more than one regular season loss. LSU on the road and maybe another one or even two. Tennessee at home I don’t see yet. Same with Vandy. It’s the road that I fear- including this Thursday. Louisville? We’ll put thoughts of that off til the NCAA tournament.
Dawn and a number of our players have a wealth of tournament experience and we do have Elite 8 talent. I still have reasonable hopes of making that level if we can cure certain problems like turnovers and foul shooting. We have room to improve and can so I haven’t given up hope of making the Final Four but I don’t consider the hope realistic for the first time this decade. I don’t see us winning a game in the Final Four and making the championship game.
I hope I’m wrong about the regular season though. For now, I’m worried about Thursday.
