I have a take on this season that I imagine is a bit different than most here and likely will not be popular, and it is due to the growing pains that this team will need to endure.

While in the moment I will want to see a win in every game and have us collect as much hardware as possible, until the big dance, anything that we accomplish beyond landing a bid will be nice, but not overly important.  if we were to somehow end up with a season that basically mirrors 2013-2014, where we seldom look like a team capable of winning it all, disappoint in the regular season and conference tournament yet cut down the nets in San Antonio, the season will be a success.

Last year, we had everything, size, athleticism, talent, experience, individual and team defense, an offense that was often too difficult to defend.  Anything shy of dominating everything along the way would have been a disappointment.  Not every title season needs to look like that one (or 1998-1999).  This year, if we win the title, we will have accomplished everything we needed to, anything else that we win along the way (Maui, BE regular season, BE tournament) will just be gravy.
