What’s the realistic expectation? Sweet 16, Elite 8?


The expectation is to get to the Final Four. Doesn’t mean that we will, but we didn’t start the season preseason #1 only to be “happy” with a Sweet 16 berth.

UCLA in the Sweet 16 is going to be a battle. Then again, last year we beat Utah in the Sweet 16 thanks to two missed free throws by them in the final seconds. And then won it all. Teams rarely coast to a NCAA title, there are usually a game or two that goes down to the wire.

I’m really not sure Iowa even makes it to the Elite 8. LSU has no reason to look ahead to them when we have such a tough road to even get to them.

The more I sit and look at it, then entire draw for LSU is just a pain in the arse.

Round 2---usually some blah Power 5 school who finished in the middle of their conference and their peak as a program would be a Sweet 16---but no...we get Louisville, whose coach has taken them to 5 straight Elite 8's.

And the added bullshite of HVL having to deal with "what's it going to be like playing your old team" questions all week.

Sweet 16: a UCLA team that is crushing it on defense. They gave up 80 to USC last game but before that allowed 57, 41, 41, 45, 52, 55. They are huge, but have shooters also.

Elite 8: Iowa. I think if we get past the other 2 games, this one oddly scares me less.
