If we are an 8-9 seed, I have a hard time believing this team will beat a one seed. We finish the next four games strong we could move up to 6 seed, and with a couple favorable match ups, a sweet sixteen is possible. However, a first round exit is just as likely with this team.
Pope needs to prove that he can coach post season as well as the season before I believe in a deep run. The very small sample size we have so far is not in his favor.
