How far do you think we will go?

[DeutschHistorian]

I seriously think we have Final Four potential, and can even win it all. For some reason losses like last night's just don't bother me like they used to before we won the NC. I think we might lose one more conference game before it is said and done. OMG 3 losses, what a terrible year!! I almost want us to go in as a 2 seed so we have a little chip on our shoulder and a little less pressure.

I think we're a sweet 16 team. Maybe better if we can tighten up our FT's and defensive plan.

Re: How far do you think we will go?

It all depends on matchups with this team. We get the right matchups and we can win by double digits every game and make the Final Four. Odds of that happening are low, so I'll say Elite 8.

Yea the free throws might kill us in the end if we come up against a deep team that hack our bigs.

We're a top five team. Any time you're in the top 8 or so, you have a legit shot at the title. Where we'll land is anyone's guess.

I will say this: (1) We aren't multidimensional enough to avoid a good gameplan by a lesser team. (2) We've proven that we can let one player take us over in a game. Imagine what Jimmer would do to us.

I'd ballpark it at Elite Eight.

Final 4. Couple things fall our way and National Championship.

Re: How far do you think we will go?

Jay Bilas said it best, a healthy Kansas can go all the way and win it. If we can't avoid injuries down the stretch, it's a crapshoot as to whether these guys can win a game.

Sweet 16. Poor defense and free throw shooting will be our downfall.

You guys will do well to make the tourney. I see bubbles in your future.

Srsly tho, like film mentioned it's all about matchups, that's what makes the tourney so damn fun. KU prob has about as good a shot at a FF as anyone, but one cold night shooting or running into an insanely hot shooting Amish Wildcat and you can get tossed.

The weakness with this team seems to mostly mental. When the players are focused and have their heads right we are an excellent team, but then there are times when we just lose it and we end up like Monday night's game.

Pssh, it doesn't work like that.

We usually shut down the player who we focus on, the one who has been unstoppable all year.
Its the craptastic ones(or the slumping ones) that we let get away.

Therefore, Joeseph Smith does not worry me.

(as much)

You know what, if we are playing Jimmer it's probably in the Elite 8 or the Final Four, and if that dude goes nuts and scores 40 and beats us at that point I won't be that pissed.
