Anybody think we can realistically make the Final Four?

With Will Wade out, I’m thinking that we will either be a one and done or a two and barbecue type of team in the NCAA Tourney.

Javonte Smart has a lot on his mind right now as well. I don’t expect to see his best game.

Wouldn’t have bet them to win it all if I didn’t think they could

No shot with this coach. I knew we were fricked when the sideline reporter came on and said that he quieted all the other coaches down in the huddle. Greg Haier should have been the coach.

Ja'vonte just went for 13 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, and a block on 5-7 from the field. The sky is not falling. Florida played us better than any team in the country this year and there are not very many teams that play their style.

Long shot at best. Likely no.

Sweet 16 would be excellent at this point

They weren't going to the Final Four with Will Wade. Bad defensive teams do not make deep tourney runs.

I will be shocked if we make the final four. More likely to not make sweet 16 IMO

With Wade yes.

Without Wade we may not make it past Round of 32.

We dont make the sweet sixteen without Wade. We dont make the final four with Wade.

This team has failed to put teams away, the better teams in college basketball would wreck us in the second half. The SEC was pretty meh this year, I dont care how much credit people tried to give Tennessee.

Ughhhhh you played a great game 2 hours after finding out he was eligible

This seemed to make the final four. Defensive lapses are on the players. And defensive lapses are would cost LSU them today..... Well that is pathetic officiating.

weighted still going to develop the game plan for these games.

Our fans are mentally spent 100% of the time lol. We lose our 3rd SEC game of the entire season and now we suck.

126th in defensive efficiency, almost 300th in 3 pt percentage - Final Four not likely.

That said, the Big Dance is it's own crazy event. LIU Brooklyn, Sister Theresa or whoever....Anything can happen.

But I wouldn't look at our stats and put money on us making much noise this year.

We had a legit chance with Wade. Without Wade I think sweet 16 would be a great accomplishment, and wouldn't be surprised if we lose first round.

You shouldn't put money on anyone if you're not using stats adjusted for pace and competition. KenPom has us 60th in defense
