What many of us have been saying since Shamorie committed. The parts have to blend together , the coaching staff must require a greater commitment to defense and we need a little luck other than bad luck. If everything works out well 18 wins is possible , 15/16 far more probable but that could get us an NIT birth which would be great.
All very positive.
I know I have been very optimistic about next season and I still stand by my higher expectation of ncaa berth next year...these guys ponds and Lovett alone make a huge difference in end of the game decisions, ball control and hopefully foul shooting which this year alone would have netted us 5-6 more wins......very excited to see these 2, bashir, fredenberg and owens added to yakwe, sima and mussini/Ellison....and a year under the belt for the coaching staff
ponds over the past year has really been playing like a 5 star guy......just a late bloomer in the rankings so only so far he can go......definitely excited

1,Being on the optimistic ( but realistic) side myself, I agree with your post and I'm starting to think - barring injury or some unforeseen issue - we will make a tournament...which one we shall see
2.As far as the big bad BE, we have improved and likely a few others have "come back to the pack"
3. No matter the 2016-17 outcome, the Red Storm is better, getting better still, and moving in a successful & exciting direction...its " fun" to be a fan these days, new Louie like epoch it seems...
We have absolutely nothing to lose thinking tournament!
Eric, I agree that Ponds and Lovett will make a huge difference. One major positive I see with these two is that teams will not be able to press us with much success next year with Ponds and Lovett handling the ball. Especially if we get some leads in these games, teams usually try and press in order to create turnovers and get back in the game. That will be tough for opponents to do with those two in the game. I too an optimistic and think we can be an NCAA team if things break right for us.
Looks like Christmas is coming a couple days early this year
This is on an nfl sunday, but I'm sure it won't stop Wildcat nation from packing the place. Per Rothstein:
