Top 5 of the SEC. At least 20 wins. Make the NCAA tourney and maybe win a game in the tourney.



Even falling short of that, I wouldn't be disappointed. I think we were predicted 7th. I'd be very happy with a tourney bid.

20-25 wins, NIT to low seed in the tourney.

The NCAA is ruling on the eligibility of one of our freshman 4 star PF's tomorrow. 6'11" Abdul Ado, amateur issues, he is enrolled and practicing with the team, just waiting to get cleared to compete. Depth in the paint is our biggest issue and if he is cleared tomorrow I think we will be a legit bubble team.

Because we sucked last year most people aren't aware of him, but we have a sophomore SG named Quinndary Weatherspoon, who was just named 1st team pre-season all-SEC. Dude is a straight baller, watch him if you get a chance, he is a potential 1st round guy. He also has a 5 star little brother named Nick Weatherspoon that just signed with MSU. We will compete for the SEC title next year.

Tourney Bid. Anything less would be a disappointment imo.

I'm expecting our former NBA Coach of the year (raise your hand if you have one of those) to go deep in the tourney.

I'm absolutely expecting Bama to go above 500 in conference play. Even if it is one game over.


And I expect Bama to beat Kentucky in the SEC tournament finals....j/k...

Could have made the tourney last year, but they imploded after beating LSU on the road.

Better team this year, but I still think they have issues with fouls, turnovers, and rebounding. I hope for a bubble NCAA team.

If we don't go undefeated this year and win the NC then I'm banning myself for the entire 2017 season opening game.

Didn't your NBA coach of the year get fired and not able to find another coaching job there?

How bad a coach do you have to be to not find another gig?

He was on the NCAA bubble with a roster put together with glue and duct tape last year and just signed a Top 3 national class this year.

We're content with him.
