    Little bit of hope going into NCAAT

    This is our first loss on a neutral court. We've beat ASU, Rutgers, NW (tourney), wash st (tourney), lsu (nit), and Tenn (tourney). Our closet win was +9 against NW. We finally lost one to a final 4 level team on our 3rd straight day of playing. We've been hell on neural courts

    If we get a good draw I like us to make it to second weekend. Then who knows. We got the pieces to make a deep run. First time in a long time but we do.

    When we want to be. This is what I expected us to be all year and for most of the year we weren't. Hopefully we are hitting our stride at the right time. 2nd half of the game today we were gassed.

    True, for seeding, we would have actually been better off losing yesterday and hopefully being a 10 seed.

    I don’t care what seed we get, we can make some noise in NCAA. Best thing going forward not playing any Sec teams who know our style. Watching tape isn’t the same as playing against us.

    Back to back years in the tourney. That has not been the norm here. We are a shooter or two away from being really good.

    Bracketmatrix has us in in 112/117 brackets and as a 10-seed. Cant say I'd hate being a 10

    If we're an 8/9 I wouldn't mind being matched up with Purdue as the 1. I think our defense would give them trouble.

    Looks like we will be a 9. If we could somehow get the 8/9 in the South and play in Memphis the first two rounds and then Dallas in the regionals….there could be a ton of Dawgs at both of those locations.

    Most likely 1-seeds: Houston, UConn, North Carolina, and Purdue.

    Man, I don't like any of those matchups. Guess I'd prefer Purdue

    We need to worry about winning our first game.

    That's all the one I really care about. I don't see us being able to get to the sweet 16 with our FT shooting. A win, and I'm happy

    I want Houston. They think they can bully anyone and everyone….until they play the one team that can bully them right back. I do not think they would handle that well. I also think that is our best chance of playing in Memphis and then Dallas so I will take that trade off.
