Pre-Season Expectations

Ok, the season is almost upon us... Let's get to the fun debate and get a sense of what our fan base is really expecting this season.

 We're not asking for hopes and dream, or best cases scenarios. ...
Just simply what do think this team will accomplish this year?

Surprisingly, the vast majority of us seem to be on the same page.    I didn't see that coming.   

It's also worth noting that for all our bi$ch*ng, our own expectations aren't that far off from what the "experts" are saying.   Didn't most of the cbs analysts predict us to finish 4th in the league?   4th in this conference is probably top 25, and about 8 or 9 seed.  And that's what most of our fans are expecting.

This is an experienced team. Expectations should be high, but I would like to suggest that those expectations fall on them as a unit, and not on any one individual player.

90 of us voted, not 1 poster thought this team wouldn't make the tournament.

Boy were our posters off or what?

Will be again next year. We will actually be even worse up front and still only 1 semi consistent outside shooter. I think we will be right around same record. Hopefully couple wins better so we sneak in. People will once again predict craziness though

Stop being such a pessimist. Depending on how many players family members die next year we could be a 12 seed or better.

Seeing as how he said the NCAA takes that into effect maybe he commits Hari Kari and we get in?
