Easy goal for me - Win a game & play competitively against one of big boys in second contest.

 

[prjohnnies]

Agreed Paultz.

 

[Russ2374]

I want to get to the sweet sixteen. Since we didn't show up in the Big East tourney when I thought we would, winning only 1 game isn't the way I want these seniors to go out. Getting to the second weekend would be special.

 

[ADORAZ]

I predict one win. We'll probably end up playing a 1 seed our second game. I'll be happy with one win.

I've been waiting years for a Selection Sunday where my school's name will be called.

Can clearly remember Hardy throwing up 3 goggles the last Selection Sunday.

I hope Lavin, the staff and players live in the moment because they definitely worked hard for it.

Great day to be a Johnnie!

One win is my realistic goal for happiness. Anything beyond that is pure elation for me.

Please boys, don't come out and lay an egg!

A Sweet 16 run would be an amazing way to finish up the season. A one and done and I won't even login in here until next fall! It will be brutal.

I'd be happy with one win also. I still vividly remember the disappointing first round loss to Wisconsin back in 2002, and then of course to Gonzaga in 2011. With all of the disappointment it's hard for me to personally expect a win. I'll go in hopeful but cautious, that way I'm not surprised if we lose, but excited if we win.

So many on this board have such short sighted goals. Aiming for one win or sweet 16 is for losers. the Yankees aim for a world series every year. Jim valvano had his team aiming for the ncaa title and had them practice cutting nets. Here we just hope to win a game and make a good showing. I am hoping we get an 8th or 9th seed with possible second game against kentucky.beat KY and we are back on the map. Then to final four.

What you expect & what you hope for differ often obviously. Give me one win & everything after that is gravy. Just different perspectives.

 

[Blitz]

We are going to be 8th at best but can go all the way to 12. Fingers crossed we are playing close. Anyone traveling?

That is because UK are the Yankees. We are...

The Mets.

Don't knock people for having "short-sighted" goals. People are simply being realistic.

Why only stop with a Final Four????

LoL!! This is why people are constantly suffering meltdowns on this board. Having unrealistic expectations and then not knowing how to handle themselves when we fall short.

We cannot be a 12, the lowest we could be is a 11 seed. They 12s are automatic guys.

True lets cut down the nets

Some here would not be satisfied with a final 4 with this short, undermanned team. Lavin would need to win the NBA championship also to save his job.

I'll go one step further on this. When Keith Thomas was dismissed and Adonis ruled ineligible, few people gave us any shot this year. As far as I'm concerned, this is all gravy right now. That's not to say anyone is ok with where the program is at now or going forward, but just appreciate what's going on here.

I don;t think thats true. Most people still saw a roster of juniors and seniors with top 100 talent. We were still expected to make the tournament.

Not by you, Desco. You said it a handful of times.
