How's This for Expectations

[forevershockerfan]

We're going to the Final Four.

Our guys play defense like few teams in the country. It's a soft year. We have a ton of senior leadership and a lot of good stories. We've got a great coach. We have passionate fans that WILL travel. We have intriguing match up possibilities. Mason, Butler, VCU....Wichita State.

And we have the size and physical talent to compete with almost any team. I understand we can lose to a lot of teams, and I won't dismiss the chance we can be one and done. Heck, at least 32 teams will be 1 and done.

But if our guys play D like they've played most of the year and especially in the tournament, if Carl, Jake and Ehimen make layups, if Cle gets back to his old self, if we just get the usual good defensive play from DWill, Tekele and Mal, if Fred and Ron can give us a spark off the bench and just a couple of Baker, Wiggins, Mal, Cle, Fred or DWill can get hot from 3 (I know that sounds like a lot, but is any of those things a stretch at all?) I think we can go long....really long.

We can lose any game, but so can almost anyone in the tourney. I'm going to be out in front on this one. How about you?

Why not us?

1 more game - Taking nothing away from our guys, we are a totally different team with Ron Baker.

If this keeps up, Doc may have a book of the Bible named for him.

I don't want to be cocky but I don't think we'll have a problem with Ohio State.

I'll go Elite Eight as our upside this year. Yes, depending on matchups, we could easily be one and done. But the top four teams in the country will have enough fire power AND defense that we will likely struggle should we make it that far.

Don't you DARE tell me you're satisfied! That goes double for you @Snapshot9:.

You know what? I hope we are BOTH wrong on predicting the upside! Of course, you won't technically be wrong because you never really said that the F4 was the BEST we can do. ;)
