Women's team made the field as a #11 seed. 2nd straight season for them. They collapsed at end of year but apparently did enough to sneak into tourney

Excellent point. If Bruce ever gets it rolling, we should win 4 of those 6 every year.

Once we have an actual developed roster, with some experience/culture/talent, we should be winning 8 games a year minimum.

Auburn almost never does that though so who knows?

UGA and Ole Miss are better coached teams. Bama is about to have a ton of talent with Ingram, Key, Petty, and Sexton.

Calapari thinks the SEC could get 8 teams in next year.

UGA definitely isn't, plus they lose Frazier which will be a huge blow. Maten will be back but he may not be the same after the knee

Only Petty/Sexton are true "talent" that are scary. I wouldn't bank on true FR doing better than 1W/2 in a huge rivalry game

Well at least every AU team is on the same page regarding that to varying levels of success

Watching Tech v IU, there is only 1 foul in first 9min of play

This honestly awesome to watch.

Barkley "guaranteed" AU will be making the dance next year.

Looks like Bruce will have to put up or shut up. Expectations/demand are only growing

What happens when the incoming freshmen are better than the rising sophomores, start in front of them, and we are "young" again?

Then those freshmen will have experienced players that have been in our system instead of on other teams and have tons of minutes logged to help guide them unlike this year's players.

Other teams freshmen that start have easier transitions because they have more experienced players to help guide them.

We only had 4 players that logged relevant minutes for AU in 2015-16 on this year's team. Here's the minutes
-TJ Dunans
-TJ Lang
-Bryce Brown
-Horace Spencer

I really think that had much more influence on our struggles than the fact that we started 4 freshmen (one of whom should've been in HS)

Next year even though we'll still be young and low on upperclassmen, we return a metric frick ton of minutes and playing experience. That is huge for us.

Does Brucey have an opinion on the Iowa St comeback against Purdue right now? The coaching in this tournament pisses me off.
