What's everybody's predictions and mood for the basketball team in their March games?

I honestly haven't been impressed by our performance against lackluster competition the past few games and I am not feeling confident but the team seems to get up for big competition so I genuinely do not know what to think.

As with everything in March, it depends in the match-up. I could see a 1st round loss or getting to the Sweet 16 with this team.

This. And I really hope we win a game or two in the SEC Tournament to stay away from the 8/9 line. If we win a couple I could see us creeping up to maybe a 5 seed.

If a 7 or lower this group has huge potential. If 8/9, I have concerns with the 1 seeds in the second round. Don't go bringing "mizzou'd" in to this...after seeing Gholston in two miracle shots this year, hey, why not believe for some magic for once? Let's go cheer on our Tigers, we know they will leave it all on the floor. LFG!

I think we’ll lose in the first round

Beat Tennessee on Friday, lose to Bama, land a 6 seed. Make it to the sweet 16 where we shoot 10% from 3 and lose by 25

Great teams have died this way in the NCAA tourney.

I say Sweet 16; they live and die by the 3 and honestly believe they're never out of the game.

They’ll probably be favored and they’ll have a homecourt advantage. But Mizzou will beat them

Beat Tennessee (who can't shoot). Lose to Bama or A&M. Both bad match ups to our size disparity.

Should get 7 seed. After that it's all about size and how hot we shoot day to day ...

Sweet 16 would be a heck of a first season for Gates.

He's already shown a more fun brand of basketball that should help with recruiting

I honestly believe it depends on which Gholston we get.

He is the perfect March player. There isn’t another player in the country that can create shots and make hard shots like he can. If we get good Gholston, I like our chances against anyone.

I gotta wait to see who we'd be against. Going off of bracket matrix, Id say a loss if we played Providence, toss up if Boise state. Win if its USC or NC state

Providence is the absolute worst match up for us. This goes for everyone in the current 7-10 seed range.

I still would like to see an improvement in the next few games leading up. We have not been playing all that well. T-Rank has us at #88 in the country over the last 5 games.

Gotta love March.

Beat Tenner twice.

They'll get a 5 seed.

Unless we win SEC ... we'll be no better than 7.

Logic.

Who cares. This is all gravy in the SEC right now. Proving lots of folks wrong is what I love so much about HCDG.

There’s a slight chance for a 6

6 would be golden, I'll take a 7. As long as we stay off the 8/9 it's all good.

We will probably get shafted on our seeding no doubt.

Utah state 1.5 point favorites. I know nothing about them but figured we would have a few points on them.
