It would be awesome to make the Elite 8. Obviously, it's is well outside the realm of reason to realistically predict that level of success at this point.
I'm sure our defense will be great, as it usually is; we need to be better offensively. I'm fairly concerned about Vescovi. He has been pretty inconsistent as an upperclassmen. I think if the rest of the team can actually provide some notable scoring power, his efficiency will definitely improve.
In any case, I think we're in better shape at this point than we were at the same time last year. If the new guys can provide good quality offensive firepower (and assuming our defense is as good as it usually is), then we will probably be able to pass the 25-win mark without too much drama. As far as the tournament goes, we will need to be more focused and, for the love of all things holy, not play down to our competition if we get a favorable draw or two. I can live with an earlier than expected loss in the tournament as long as we don't embarrass ourselves.
I really really want at least a top-3 SEC finish, hopefully make it to at least the Sweet 16, and I personally do not care what happens in the SEC tournament (but I will be stoked if we wind up winning it haha).
