I'm afraid you're right and we have to beat Texas Tech to get there. We did a pretty good job of replacing Holloway with Philon plus committee yesterday. Of course he's not going to gain 50 lb overnight, but Bol looked like a different player yesterday. He did a good job of substituting agility for bulk. Speaking of bigs, seeing #45 for Purdue in action yesterday gave me bad memories...The favorite among talking heads seems to be Arizona. I am not buying it. I got Florida repeating, but not confident at all.
Also the talking heads have the SEC down, but I think there will be some surprises specifically Vandy and Arkie.
Right now, I think our ceiling is the sweet 16. I am hoping beyond that.
