How far do you think this basketball team can realistically go?

With the right matchups the final four. With a bad one, first round exit. But good luck guessing their draw.

They need to get up to a 6 seed or so, but they can absolutely win 2 games if they’re hot offensively. Their lack of defense and rebounding will limit them in the second weekend.

Probably to the Elite 8 if they continue to improve on defense and on the boards along with cutting down on the unforced errors.

At their best they are really good

But too inconsistent overall.

Streaky shooting
Poor ball movement
Bad defense

Would be surprised if they could advance past the S16, unless they get lucky & catch a twelve, for instance

Just depends on the match up.
Offensively we can play with anyone.
But have to defend to some degree.

NCAAT is generally about matchups - and a team having an off game or another team going lights out - in terms of early exits/etc.

Realistically, Gonzaga is alpha dog, with Baylor behind them. I would not want to be 8/9 seed in either bracket.

That said, this team could beat anyone if it falls the right way.

With LSU being in 2nd place in the SEC late into the season, they are pretty much a lock for the NCAA tournament. The win they needed was against Tennessee who is still ranked. The win today just kept their momentum going.

Final 4 upside depending on the matchups we get. When this team is hot, no one beats them cuz they just keep scoring. Could also lose first round because we play zero defense. I think round of 32-sweet 16 is pretty realistic

That's nice they beat a few teams worth a shite in December..The Truth is...
it's going to be March and you've been hitting Santa Clara and San Fran for the last 3 months, and then Smart/Thomas..even Leblanc shows up in a bad mood and wants to bang and crash the boards all night.
Historical Reference: 2006 Duke game.
