Because the #2 seed's opponent plays the day before? Is there also a potential for #2 to play #10, or in the event #10 beats #7, does #10 play #1? Any other reasons that I'm not thinking of?
Ready for some spring ball so we can have something else to talk about. Oh, wait, does it really matter what season it is? The conversation always seems to be the same.
I was one of the ones that thought a an off-season change at DC was the right move. Then I retreated a bit when I realized how much the defensive personnel changed from ‘21 to ‘22. But now we have an opportunity to upgrade our DC. Hopefully we do.
Not that I thought Jones was great (I thought it was mutually beneficial when he left), but an NCAA tournament game against a known basketball commodity with the crowd on your side as the role of underdog would be pretty sweet again.
Agreed that our staff seems to be "picking their spots" when it comes to transfers - bringing in a few to fill holes, but not trying to turnover a large portion of the roster (thankfully, because that would mean major recruiting problems).

If defensive improvements have been made through recruiting and the transfer portal, and offensive production does not drop off, this is a real possibility.
