How far will we go in the NCAA's?

[C0|dB|00ded]

How many rounds do you predict we will win in the NCAA Tournament? This poll needn't be scientifically analyzed, just gut feelings will do. Are we a team of destiny or a team of wannabees? I personally believe the former.

Can we delay this poll until we actually see who we are going to be playing and which #1 seed is in our bracket?

Naw.. that's too scientific. This is just a gut feeling poll. What do you feeeeel? I'm sure NIU never thought they would get past KU, but they did.

You can create another poll after we see the brackets and see how it compares to this one and then our final results.

Your vote is anonymous. Nobody is going to laugh at your prediction.

I went for the final four because I have a source for tickets if the shocks make it that far. I feel like roadtripping

I don't think it matters, we can beat them all. :good:

How far will we go?

Hopefully we will stay somewhere in the Midwest. I'm a bit concrete tonight.

National Champs. The dream aint dead, til its dead.

Let's get there first, there is a lot of ball left to play before selection Sunday.

Go Shocks!

Go Shocks!

+1- Dont lose focus Shocks!

I'll be extremely happy if we make it to the Elite 8. I'll be beyond esctatic if we make the final four. I'll streak in public if we make it to the Championship game. I will suffer a major heart attack and die if we are National Champions.

It will be a happy death.

GO SHOCKS!!

I have the same sentiments as a lot of posters combined so far in this thread.

It's a little premature to be making the poll, but how far do I expect us to go? I have no idea. What do I want to see? A national championship. Isn't that the goal from day one?
