I kinda think Bryant reminds me of a slightly shorter Chris Silva, but without the fouling. He does foul, but not in the machine-gun fashion that Silva has been known to do. And he is after all a freshman.

But I agree the best we should HOPE for is national titles, but realistically after last season, and the way this team looked to start this season, reaching the NIT would be a major positive, and a step in the right direction for this team.

But I will gladly accept reaching the NCAAT if at all possible: the team has gotten top 25 ranking votes and bracketology consideration in recent days, so lets see where this all takes us. I know that past tournament selection committees have taken how teams finished their seasons into strong consideration in picking teams - if we're able to finish with a .500 or better SEC season, in a supposedly stronger SEC this season, and not just bow out in the SECT after one game, we may sway some of those folks into our camp. One game at a time....

This is actually what scares me

And I think this Big12 SEC challenge is pretty huge.

I know we don't have some of the better teams in it, but some wins where we shouldn't are big.

And Hopefully we don't have any upsets (like WVU beating UT)

Great post! I agree if we make the NIT that would be positive after the way we started. How many more losses, do you think we can have, before being 100% out of the dance.
