hope for with our side of the bracket in that regard. 3 of the 4 teams we lost to in the WCC regular season are on the other side of the bracket. We got SMC on our side instead of Pepperdine, with SMC being a better matchup for us and better for our resume.

We should reach the final, which is what this team needs to do to secure their bid. If we screw it up, we screw it up, but it's set up pretty nicely for us to reach the final.
