Admittedly, I am a sunshine pumper. I am an eternal optimist when it comes to MU bball. That said, I like this team. A lot... I am not sure they are a tournament team. But they are a team that will not get blown out nightly. They will be in most games. And thats what you want this year. They have some athletes and lo and behold, they play together and actually run an offense. Pretty refreshing after the last few years.
I think making the postseason (NIT or NCAA) should be the goal. I dont think its unreasonable to believe that this team can be in the NIT. Making the NCAA would be overachieving for sure. I also think finishing in the top 8 in the SEC is a stretch but achievable as well.
In terms of talent, they have some horses finally. Some guys that can score the ball whether driving or shooting from outside. I get that they havent played a good team yet but you can see the talent vs previous years. If they can take that raw talent and polish it into a cohesive attacking basketball team is going to be the question and will ultimately tell the tale of the season.
I for one am just thrilled to be excited this year and believing that our goals are attainable. LFG!
